Is there a way to switch to a specific excel window via macro?
I know
Code:
  On Error GoTo ChangeWinErr
    Set nw = ActiveWindow.ActivateNext
    If Windows.Count > 1 Then
       nw.Activate
       Exit Sub
    End If
to cycle through excel windows, but is there something like .AppActivate in Excel VBA?

Spell Check in Excel
Press F7 to start spell check in Excel. Be careful, by default, Excel does not check Capitalized Werds (whoops)

Figured it out! It's actually pretty easy. To switch to a specific window (assuming this is an already opened window with a file name) it's just:
Code:
Windows("filename.xlsm").Activate
