Can you add a word or name to the spell checker in pages for iPad?

I'm looking for a way to add a word, alternate spelling or proper name to the spell checker for the newest version of pages for iPad so they won't keep showing up as "misspelled".
Can you help?

No, the ability to add a word to spell check dictionary is not a current feature.

  • Instructions for adding a word to spell dictionary in Pages for iPad not worki g

    Instructions for adding a word to the spell dictionary in Pages for iPad say to double-tap the word. At that point you're supposed to be given the option to "define" the word, which I take to be adding it to the dictionary.
    Double-tapping only gives me alternative spellings of the word. I don't get an option to define.
    What am I overlooking?
    Thanks,

    Not working for me, Demo.
    Entering the words in settings would be cumbersome. I have a long document with many unfamiliar names and technical terms.
    In Pages with spellcheck on unrecognized words are underlined in red. Tapping once highlights they word in a pinkish box. Tapping twice brings up a list of alternative words in a graphic display rather a text suggestion with option to dismiss. Tapping outside the suggestions graphic cancels it but does not seem to reject the suggestions, I.e., not in the sense that you are then given the option of accepting the word into the dictionary.
    Help gives a procedure for doing this, but it does not work.
    The document I'm working on is a finished document. No composition or editing required. I just need to get it formatted for publication. Most of the words another recognized by spellcheck, and there are many, need to be enter into the dictionary.
    Thanks,

  • How do you get a word and character count of a document in Pages for Mavericks

    How do you get a word and character count of a document in Pages for Mavericks?

    Hi jonathan,
    I struggled with this one as well, as i'm finishing up a PhD thesis and word counts are incredibly important. Through trial and error i found out that words like 'e.g.' and 'i.e.' count as two words and an ampersand (&) doesn't count at all. That being said, i didn't like the fact that the word count always included footnotes and i was dismayed that i couldn't get an accurate count of words in the main body of my text. That all disappeared yesterday when, by chance, while i was copying a completed chapter and pasting it into my main document, i discovered that Pages can indeed give you an accurate word count excluding the footnotes!  Here's all you need to do:
    1. In pages 5.2, make sure that the Word Count function is first enabled by selecting View --> Show Word Count from the Pages Menu Bar. (If it's already enabled, it will read View --> Hide Word Count, so if that's what it says, then no need to do anything.)
    2. Once enabled, check the Word count that's currently showing at the bottom of the page. That's the word count including your footnotes.
    2. Now, place your cursor anywhere within the current document, then hit command+A (for Select All).
    3. Viola! Your word count now shows the actual number of words within the body of the text only, excluding footnotes!
    Hope that helps!

  • Hi, can someone please tell me why the spell check in pages doesn't work. I went to preferences and enabled this auto spell checker and have set the language to british english. But still it doesn't work while it works perfectly in TextEdit.

    Inspector > Text > More > Language
    Only applies to selected text, like making it a particular font.
    It is not a setting that sticks. If you continue to paste in text from elsewhere particularly the Internet it will have a different or None language set to it. You need to select it and make it B.E.

  • How I can set the spelling language in Pages for iPad?

    how I can set the spelling language in Pages for iPad? may for german...

    how I can set the spelling check to other language in Papers/iPad?
    The only choices you have in the iPad itself are to change the keyboard or change the user interface language. If that doesn't do what you want, probably best ask the people who make Papers.

  • How can I add a word to Safari's dictionary?

    Now and then I encounter properly spelled English words which are not recognized by the Safari dictionary or spell checker.  I would like to add those words to the Safari dictionary, but I do not see that option.  How can I add a word to Safari's dictionary/spell checker?

    Type the word in any app (e.g., Messages) followed by a spacebar and let it be "corrected."  Then type a backspace and other options including your original "wrong" spelling will appear above the autocorrected word. Tap the one that matches your original typing. That will change it back to the way you entered it and also adds it to the dictionary.

  • How do you add a word with ampersand to a dictionary in InDesign?

    I added "M&A" to the User Dictionary in InDesign, but it did not seem to recognize this word. Instead, it highlighted the character "M". I suspect this must be to do with the ampersand.  How do I add a word like this so that spell check ignores them?

    I would suggest instead that you mark it with "[No Language]" - that should prevent spellcheck just as well, without needing to fiddle with custom dictionaries. (Which I honestly don't know how to do - we do all of our linguistic QA outside of InDesign, so I've never used a custom dictionary, otherwise I'd tell you how.)

  • Can you have multiple bleed allowances (along with the multiple page sizes) in InDesign CS5?

    Hi there,
    I'm new to InDesign and have a question about documents with mixed page sizes in CS5.  I'm preparing an illustrated book for print and was hoping to be able to contain all the pages (including the covers) in one document.  My basic setup is 140 mm x 210 mm with a 3 mm bleed on each side.  I've managed to add the different cover page (146 mm x 216 mm) and spine (10 mm) dimensions easily enough, but can you have multiple bleed specifications too?  The bleed allowance I need for the case layout is 15 mm.  I've scoured InDesign and the net, but can't find any information about this anywhere.  It would seem rather silly to be able to have multiple page sizes in your document without being able to change the bleed allowance too.  Here's hoping it's possible!  Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. 
    Thank you!
    Alexandria

    make sure what your printer means ie: Page size + 6mm spine bulk + 15mm bleed.
    and design acordingly

  • Please can you help my Register of names... I want a formula that simply adds numbers in a horizontal row of cells that increase as I add them. Thanks..

    Please can you help my Register of names... I want a formula that simply adds numbers in a horizontal row of cells that increase as I add them. It can not be a range of selected cells  because as I add new cells they are not in the range. Thanks..

    Hi Dave,
    Any formula that references its own row will return the error message you see unless it is in a Header column.
    Convert columns B, C and D to Header Columns, and Jerry's formula will work just fine:
    One caution, though—multiple header columns are a known factor in slowing Numbers down as the table gets larger. You can avoid adding header columns by specifying a 'fixed' range of cells from wich to get the sum and count values in C2 and D2.
    Make sure the range includes at least one 'extra' column. As more runs are added, add columns by inserting them before this 'extra column. If the new columns are inside the range specified in the formula, Numbers will adjust the formula to add the new columns. If they are outside the range, you will need to edit the formulas yourself.
    Note revised formula:
    To add four more runs, click on any cell in column L, then press option-left arrow four times to insert four new columns. Note the change in the formula:
    The last column is always included in the formula, but never gets counted (or summed) because its content is interpreted as a Text value, not a number.
    Note: Except for the change formulas and added columns, this is your original table, with one Header row and one Header column.

  • Can you add Programs to Open With Menu

    Is there a way to add programs to the Open With Menu.  For example, when you right click on a file you can choose to open it with the default application by selecting Open, or choose other programs to open it with by selecting Open With.  Only a few of the programs that can open the files are listed.  Is there a way to add programs that I use to list in that list.  Right now, everytime I want to open something in a program that is not listed I have to go to Other... and find it in the Application folder.  Which is not too convenient.  Many programs that I use to open files are not listed for many types of file types, I open them frequently using the Open... window, and I was hoping that Mac would learn to add them, but it did not. 
    For example, I have VMWare with Windows 7 and Microsoft Office 2010 in it, my default application for WORD documents is Word for Mac 2011, but occasionally I need to open it in Word 2010 in Windows (Certain features that are missing in Mac Word), and I have to browse to fin the Word 2010 Application from the Application Folder.  Another example is a program (from the App Store) called ResizeIt (which resizes photos), I have to browse for it everytime even though it is an application just for images.
    So, is there a way to edit the Open With Menu for specific file types to include these programs that I use, or do I have to keep browsing to the Application folder and finding it there?
    Thank you in advance!!

  • Can you help with rematching file names

    After a computer crash needed to reload my library. When doing this I accidently clicked the option to add track numbers to song names.
    Later I was able to locate my iTunes XML from my old PC, however many of the songs (5000 out of 6000) no don't match because the original song name has been changed since my stupid error caused the files names to get the song number in front of them.
    Anybody have any tips for matching the filenames back up. In my original library some files had track numbers in front and some did not. How can I match them back up. I'm comfortable programming and modifying the iTunes XML but I can't figure out a good way to list out the contents of my hard drive to do the actual matching.

    Because this forum software is so absolutely USELESS now, you don't get to see the whole of the question in this view. In the other (non-list) view it says:
    "can you help with a technical problem with the stereo imagery option ? it won't take out lead vocal in a stereo mp3"
    And the answer is that if you can't isolate the vocal in the stereo field, or it is one of these odd ones where it's used inverted polarity in different parts of the stereo signal for the same vocal, then you won't be able to. But without a sample, it's impossible to tell. If you can post a link to one, that might help. It has to be external to this site though - Adobe in their infinite wisdom don't allow the posting of audio files on their audio U2U forum. Helpful, that, isn't it?

  • Can you add page numbers to the PDF version?

    Can you add page numbers to the PDF version?

    Hello saradianapasik,
    If you start with a document created with Acrobat Pro, or exported from your word processor as a .pdf, then you should include page numbers in that originating application. After you have exported a .pdf form from FormsCentral, it is no longer editable.
    I hope that helps,

  • Can you add a function sort of like spam, but for websites. So I can put website to spam bucket

    Can you add a totally new functionality, which would be similar to email spam.
    If I get to a website I don't ever want to see in any of my searches or anything I would just click WEBSPAM button and the site is gone from my web viewing experience.
    It is sort of an opposite of favorites or bookmarks. Negative bookmarks could be a good concept name.
    So again, the negative bookmark site would not show in any of my searches. The idea is to make this simple.
    A one click solution.
