After downloading Firefox, my e-mail spell check doesn't work

for years I had used IE. I recently installed Firefox and now my e-mail spell check doesn't work. The dictionary is loaded but cannot figure out how to resolve this. It still works when using IE, so am assuming it's a Firefox glitch.

Do you have a dictionary installed and selected?
* You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the Languages submenu.
* Open the "Add Dictionaries" link to install a dictionary if you do not have one.
* Make sure that [X] "Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu is check-marked.
You can enable or disable spell checking globally:
* Tools > Options > Advanced : General: Browsing: "Check my spelling as I type"
You can look here for dictionaries:

IChat 'spell checker' doesn't work.

Hello,
Recently upgraded to Tiger .. and the spell checker doesn't work when selected as 'Check spelling as you type'. It works manual -when I click on 'Check Spelling' ... but not whle I type.
The spell checker works fine in Mail and Pages,etc. Just not iChat.
I did reinstall iChat and didn't solve problem.
Any thoughts?

Just to add more info - when selected as 'Check spelling as you type' ... when I type a misspelled word, it will underline the word in red. BUT - when I right-click the word - NO word suggestions are in the popup menu.
If I click 'Check Spelling' ... and then right-click the word ... it works perfectly ... with word suggestions in the popup menu AND other options (ignore spelling, learn spelling ... etc)
Thanks.

Universal Spell Checker doesn't work.

For some reason my universal spell checker wont work. I am using TextEdit, where it worked fine until recently. Is anyone else having this problem? And yes, I checked ON the appropriate function in the menu. I am on a MacBook Pro with the latest OS (10.5.4).

After reading your post I tried TextEdit and spell check wasn't working for me either, I opened preferences and check spelling was selected, I then selected Check grammar with spelling as well, and it worked, I then de-selected Check grammar and Spell check worked normally.

Eudora Spell Check Doesn't Work in SL 10.6.1

Eudora's spell checking function stopped working after installing SL 10.6.1. It worked OK in 10.6. All the Eudora files seem to be in place. The spell check works when using a backup copy of Eudora that was made before converting from OS 10.5.8 to 10.6; but it does not work after moving that copy of Eudora to the HD with 10.6.1. Any ideas to get spell check working again? Am I seeing the beginning of the end of Eudora?
Thanks! -- GKernTucson

You can find ispell-de in the AUR.

Ah, ok, I'll ask my yoghurt. ;-)
Just because I'm curious: Is it correct that aspell is ispell's successor? So if there ever will be a KDE 4 version of Kile it will probably use aspell, right? Just trying to see the connections here...
I mean after all there's a reason behind the fact that ispell-de isn't part of the repository whereas aspell-de is.

Ihave firefox 3.6.8 spell check used to work on hotmail but I had to uninstall firefox and reload it now spell check does not work on hotmail . I have installed the dictionaryadd on

I can't gte spell check to work it just says
Most browsers check for spelling mistakes automatically. Look for the words that are flagged by red lines and right-click them to see suggestions. Note that with some browsers, you may need to download a dictionary.
I have done this

Not all locales come with a dictionary installed for licensing reasons. 
If you do not have the en-US locale then check that you have a dictionary installed (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and selected. 
 
You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the Languages submenu. 
Also make sure that [[X]"Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu has a tick. 
You can also try to toggle the "Check Spelling" item off and on again.

After iOS8, spell check doesn't work for last word in sentence

Hello,
After updating my iPhone 5 to iOS 8, i've noticed that the spell checker and the keybord shortcuts arent working for the last word in sentence.
For instance, I used to have a shortcut, so whenever I texted LOL and hit the send button, it would send "HAHAHAHA" into the message.
Now, if i just type LOL and hit send, it will send LOL iinto conversation.
Has anyone managed to fix it out?
Thanks.

Confirm this is selected:
In the new Write window
Options > Spell check as you type
''re Yes, I have dictionaries installed.''
This implies you have more than one dictionary.
Can you check to see if any addon /extension is causing a conflict.
There is no point starting up in safe mode as this will disable the dictionaries. So instead:
Tools > Add-ons
The 'Add-ons Manager will open in a new tab
select 'Extensions'
Disable all add-on extensions except for one dictionary.
Check to see if that dictionary is an up to date version.
then select 'Dictionaries'
This is where the default dictionary is located.
In my case it is 'United States English Spellchecker'
make sure this is disabled.
The idea being to ensure that only one dictionary is enabled and that it is up to date. Then check to see if the spell check works.
If you have other dictionaries, go through the process of enabling one dictionary, checking it is up to date and then testing the spell check.
Please confirm which dictionaries you have installed.
for example, I have British English Dictionary 1.19.1 and it is located under Tools > Addons > 'Extensions' and it is enabled.
I also have under:
Tools > Addons > 'Dictionaries'
'United States English Spellchecker' 7.0.1 but this is disabled.
Tell us what you have and report back on the testing.

Pages IWORK'08 spell check doesn't work--here's the fix

Pages stopped spell checking. Some suggested deleting com.apple.iwork.pages.plist off the HD in case Pages was corrupted so it could rebuild the spell check feature but that was not necessary in my case. Here is the painless fix.
-Open a pages document
-Go to Edit and SELECT ALL
-Then go to INSPECTOR text (blue T) MORE and be sure language is set to English, then close out of Inspector
-Go to EDIT, SPELLING and set “check spelling as you type” or "Check spelling"
Just remember that PAGES needs to know what you want to do so you have to SELECT ALL for it to check everything on the document.

That is not sufficient if you have not also corrected your Text Styles to the appropriate language.
Text is styled with a language, usually the default, just as it is with a font or color.
Unless you update all your styles and use them, every time you reintroduce new text or use those like Free Form you will have text with either the wrong language or no language.

InDesign CC - spell check doesn't work

In InDesign CC when I launch spell check it appears at the top of my screen overlapping the menu bar. If I keep hitting command-I it will find and highlight suspect words, but does not give me any option to change them. Also, the spell check menu will remain at the top of the screen until I quit out of the program. Any suggestions how I can fix this? Thanks!

Spell checking doesn't work at all

I can't get any of the spelling related features to work for Pages 2. It won't spell-check the document, nor will it underline words with Check Spelling As you Type.
Anyone have any thoughts on the matter?

Which is your login language? That should be what decides what spelling dictionary is used. If you login language doesn't have any spelling dictionary, the default language is probably "none".
Check in the Inspector > Text > More. If the Language is set to "None" that is your problem. The solution is to select a language of course.

Spell check doesn't work on shared documents

We have four computers (Mac) running CS6 (multiple licenses) and sharing documents via a server. Beginning with CS3, we were not able to spell check a document multiple times. Now, with CS6, three computers cannot spell check ANY shared documents. One computer (the one that created the original document) can spell check anything multiple times. When the other computers try to spell check something the dialogue box opens and you hit "start" but nothing happens, as though there are no spelling errors (which there certainly are). All other computers are able to spell check documents originally created on that computer. Copying documents from the server to the computer's hard drive still does not allow them to be spell checked.
Thoughts?

Is this a statement or do you want some help? If you want help you have to tell us what you see and why you say it doens't work. No one but you sees your screen!

Where to download Firefox 26? My add-on doesn't work with 27.

I use Roboform, which isn't yet compatible with Firefox 27. I need to reinstall Firefox 26. Where can I download it from? Thanks.

Hello vsskanand,
The download worked fine and installed Firefox 26. During the install, I deselected 'Install Maintenance Service'. However, after I installed Firefox 26, I went to 'Help' > 'About' in order to just confirm that it was indeed 26. When I did that, Firefox automatically downloaded 27 and activated it on next start up.
So I had to uninstall 27 and reinstall 26 again. I just mention this for others who may go through the same thing. Once you install 26, if you go to 'Help' > 'About', Firefox will auto-upgrade to 27, even if you deselected 'Install Maintenance Service'.
Thanks for your help in getting me what I needed. I will close this problem.

After downloading Firefox onto my pc I have been unable to open my AOL. Saw online that others have had this problem. Can it be resolved? If not I need to remove Firefox.

I was having trouble with downloads on Explorer and in the process of resolving the issue with Microsoft support over the phone we tested the solution by downloading itunes and firefox. That was two days ago and I have not been able to open my AOL from the icon on my screen. Explorer is ok and I can access AOL through that search engine. I read online that others have had the same problem after downloading Firefox.

SpyHunter 4 is not working as usual on my desktop computer; Kaspersky Antivirus is not working properly on my laptop. Both changes occured after downloading Firefox 4. What should I do

SpyHunter is set up to run everyday when I turn on my desktop computer. My Desktop runs Windows 5.1. We usually get around 80-100 low level "spy things" that show up and Spy Hunter removes them. Yesterday, after downloading Firefox 4 we got no malware spy hits. Today, we got one, but we got a message that said we had to restart our computer to remove the malware. We restarted and Spy Hunter just wanted to scan again. We stopped the scan.
Kaspersky Antivirus is set up on my laptop (running Windows 7). After I downloaded Firefox 4, I get a message that states that Kaspersky Antivirus is not turned on. When I open the Action Center of Kaspersky, I shows that the Anti-virus protection is turned off. The rest (firewall, updates, spyware protection, internet security settings, account control are all still "on").
I find it really strange and somehow connected to the downloading of Firefox 4 since both my desktop and my laptop now have problems with my SpyHunter and Kaspersky.
Can I, or should I go back to the earlier version? If so, how do I do that?
Thanks!
Marbeth Austin

Some third-party vendors do not update their products until after the release of a new browser. That is a shame in that they could have tested for compatibility during the alpha and beta testing period (about one year in the case of Firefox 4). The third-party vendor/developer is responsible for keeping their product(s) compatible with new browsers.
You will need to contact your third-party vendor and complain as a paying customer who is not getting what they paid for.
Other newly release browsers, not just Firefox 4, are affected:

Mail Spell Check started underlining all words as incorrect

Hi Folks.
This is my first post/question. I have searched for the answer on these forums and elsewhere but can't locate any suggestions. Forgive me if I have overlooked anything useful already posted.
My question relates to Spell Check in Mail.
For some reason, my spell check has started underlining all words with red squiggles with the exception of a few common words (eg 'the' 'and')
I'm not the best speller - but I'm not getting 98% of my word wrong. But Mail spell check thinks I am.
Does anyone know why this has started to happen and how it can be fixed?
Thanks

Thanks Tom. That solved the problem.
How strange that the dictionary switched to Spanish overnight.
Thanks again.
Mark
