Default How to select all incorrect words in Word at once

Gentlemen, I have an issue. I have a long set of words following a certain pattern (developed in Excel Macro). However, this pattern does not work for all the words - some of them are incorrect. Is there any way how to pick all the incorrect words from Word (they are underlined there with red)?. I have a Macro in Excell, and can modify all the incorrect words there - however, firstly I need to select those. Manually, it takes a lot of time.

I would really appreciate, if you can help.

Presumably you mean words that have the squiggly underline that Word puts there to indicate a possible spelling mistake. There is no way to select only such words. A Word macro, however, could build such a list. Even so, without knowing the context, it's impossible to say what the apparently-misspelt word should be. Still, if that's what you're interested in, there's some code to get you started at: https://www.msofficeforums.com/word-...tml#post112057
