CS3 Check Spelling dialog problem

There seems to be a bug with the Dialog box for Check Spelling.
If you right click on the blue bar at the top of the dialog and choose Minimize or Maximize. The dialog box will always keep that setting.
I have not been able to find a way to Restore the original size of this dialog.
Anyone have an idea on how to set the Check Spelling... dialog box back to original size?

I am trying to not have to reset the Applications preferences.
Right now I have a some what of a solution.
I move the Spelling Service.rpln from the Required folder to the desktop.
Start InCopy. Close InCopy.
Put the plugin back and start InCopy. The only preference I see that I have to change is the Keyboard Shortcuts.
I am running 5.0.3

DW CS3 Check Spelling Issue

Back ground: I have a long IT career but have never really done any web dev before. This is my first real stab at building a website so this may be a 101 coding error but I had a heck of a time figuring it out so I thought I'd share incase another newbie had a similar issue.
After creating 1,164+ pages for my website, which has not yet been uploaded, I was doing a round of pre-upload spelling, code validations and link checks but could not get check spelling to work, no matter what I did it just wouldn’t highlight on the text dropdown menu nor could I use the keyboard short cut to initiate it. The pages were saved as .htm which is functionally the same as .html. I tried saving a test page as .html but is made no difference.
All other fesatures worked and the code was recognised, previewing in a browser was fine, no problems there but I still couldn't check spelling in DW CS3.
I knew it would be something stupid on my part… well I was right. This must have happened when setting up the first page for the site, and was experimenting until I got it to look right and feel that way I wanted, I saved it and have used it at the ‘authoritative source’ or ‘template’ for all pages created. First I created the template from it I created a template for each of the major sections of the site. From them I have created all 1,164+ pages to date...
I’ve sent this problem to every webhead that I know … I’ve even took it to work and had a couple guys there look at it. No one had any idea, I think it’s because it was so simple everyone had looked right past it. I finally did a bit-by-bit comparison with another test site that spl chk worked on and even then I missed it because I was ignoring the automatically generated stuff up at the top.
At the very top of the code:
<!DOCTYPE htmPUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
It is supposed to be:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html lang="en">
At the bottom of the code:
</htm>
It is supposed to be:
</html>
Even though you can save this page as a ‘.htm’ file, the HTML notations have to be included. Take them out and guess what: ‘check spelling’ disappears. Why spelling does that but everything else still works… who knows, but it does!
I’ve already made the correction to all pages. Now I can forgo checking all 1,164 pages by hand (or cut-n-past into word) and now I can get the spelling, validation and link checks done so I can do the initial upload for this site.
(I really wish you could check all "text" spelling for the site and spelling corrections as you type were offered... I did put in a request)
So WOOO HOO!

I'm not sure about what you mean but i do know that if you
run the installation from your hard drive you don't need a disk or
you could get the CS4 trial from Adobe.com and install with the key
that came with CS4.

I cannot get check spelling to work

When I select Command > Check spelling all it does it switch the view to split. No check spelling dialog - nothing. I tried resetting my workspace.

If you can, switch to Design View. See screenshot.
If you are unable to use Design View, here's a temporary workaround until the DW Team releases a fix. Open your Fluid Grid CSS file and add an X as shown below. This will trick DW into thinking it's a normal layout so you can use Design View and spell check.
    Dreamweaver Fluid Grid Properties
    dw-num-cols-mobile:     X 4;
    dw-num-cols-tablet:        8;
    dw-num-cols-desktop:    12;
    dw-gutter-percentage:    25;

"Check spelling" problems

When I do a "check spelling" using CS4 it tells me that there should be a capitalized letter on the beginning of each line of text.
The text is set flush left.
Is there anyway to smarten up the check spelling function?
Example:

It tells me that that there should be a cap for the m on "me", a cap on the t in "the", a cap for the f in "flush."
If it matters, I'm using a Mac Pro, OS 10.6.4. Illustrator CS4.
Thanks

Thanks Monika
I tried your suggestion. Held down shift and hit return. Didn't work.
I'm not too sure what you mean by "And use Return to go to the next paragraph of your poem(?)."
But thanks for the poem bit.
I do know about the suggestion from OldBob1957.
I used to use Freehand (the good old days). Don't recall having this sort of problem. Freehand also let you just spell check
what ever text you highlighted, not all the text on the page.
Guess I'll have to fire up an old Mac and see if I'm right about Freehand.

Be good: check spelling

We're seeing people search for things in Dreamweaver Help --
simple things -- and coming up empty-handed. There are lots of
reasons for this, one of them being the new google search engine
that powers Web Help searches and the new Community Help.
The
Dreamweaver team blog is going to maintain a running list of
topics that google has trouble delivering for whatever reason.
Here's the first big one:
SPELL CHECK
We see that you've had a hard time finding the basic spell
check documentation in Dreamweaver. The reason for it is because
the command is actually called "Check Spelling" and so the
documentation refers to it as such. If you search for "check
spelling," the documentation should come up right away in Community
Help or in product Web Help; but because of google relevance
matching, things like "spell check," "spell checker," and "spelling
check" have not been working adequately. We're trying to adjust
this so that it works better. In the meantime, you can get to the
topic here:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/10.0_Using/WSc78c5058ca073340dcda9110b1f693f21-7cc 8a.html

I'm having the same problem. I can't see any pattern to the
files without spell checker and those that have it. This is really
pretty important as I depend on a good spell checker. I checked the
problem files with my Dreamweaver MX and no problem. Its just an
issue with CS3.

Check Spelling greyed out

Check Spelling is greyed out on my Text menu. No idea why.
Any suggestions?
Cheers.

Check in dialog with Adobe Drive 4.2 doesn't work

Hi,
we are currently implementing a custom check-in dialog using Adobe Drive 4.2.
The dialog looks like the example given in discussion "Custom check in dialog".
To build the SWF, I use Flash Builder 4.5 with Adobe Flex SDK 4.0.0 (flex_sdk_4.0.0.14159A).
I have created a new Flex Project with Application type "Web" and added a MXML Modul with name "CustomUI" and option "Do not optimize (module can be loaded by multiple applications)".
After compiling the project I extract the "CustomUI.swf" and copy the file in the "resources" folder of my Custom Adobe Drive adapter.
I implement the "IGetCustomCheckInUIHandler", "ICanEnableCustomCheckInUIHandler" and "IGetCustomCheckInUIContextInfoHandler":
"IGetCustomCheckInUIHandler" sets the module url like
response.setModuleURL(Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResource("resource s/CustomUI.swf"));
"ICanEnableCustomCheckInUIHandler" enables the custom ui dialog with
response.setCanEnable(true);
"IGetCustomCheckInUIContextInfoHandler" adds some context data like
Map<String, Object> contextInfo = new HashMap<String, Object>();
contextInfo.put("key1", "test1");
response.setContextInfo(contextInfo);
(Also hidding the "IGetCustomCheckInUIContextInfoHandler" in "IRemoteHandlerFactory" doesn't work.)
Right click on an checked out asset in Windows Explorer and click on "Adobe Drive 4/Check in..." does following:
1. "IGetCustomCheckInUIHandler" called
2. "ICanEnableCustomCheckInUIHandler" called
3. "IGetCustomCheckInUIHandler" once more called
4. "IGetCustomCheckInUIContextInfoHandler" called
5. The default check in dialog is shown (with no custom ui extension), the default dialog hangs (OK/Cancel doesn't react on click, the dialog is freezed). Only the close button (X in the right upper corner) works.
How is it possible to provide a custom ui check in dialog?
Thanks

Hi again.
I found where the problem was (at least in my case).
To go to the point: go in the "properties" of your flex project. In the menu, go in "Flex Build Path" and then in "Library Path". Then, the option "Framework linkage" is with the default value in a new flex project.
So here is the trick : with Flex 3 (so Adobe Drive 3), the default value is "merged into code". Bug in the Flex 4 (so Adobe Drive 5), the default value is "Runtime Shared Library".
And because the module is ran independently (with no link with the flex code that load your module), the flash player crashes because it doesn't find your libraries (like ICustomCheckinUI).
I discovered this problem running the Custom UI from the windows explorer (not with Bridge) and using the Flash Player Debug version, and watching the error log files of the Flash Player.
So in the end, when I checked "merged into code" in the Framework Linkage option, all my dependencies of my flex module were merged into my final module swf, and no more flash crash.
Sorry for my bad english and hope it helped.
Guillaume

Check spelling with foreign words

I am using InDesign CS4 to create documents which mix foreign words and phrases in standard US English. The problem is that when I use Check Spelling, it flags as misspelled many properly-spelled non-English words.
When these suspect words have accents, clicking the Ignore All or Add buttons does absolutely nothing. Every instance of the accented suspect word is flagged throughout the document.
Is there some simple way for me to add accented words to my user dictionary? I've read the Adobe Help doc for Check Spelling and it's no help whatsoever.

Why the heck I can't just Ignore All or Add an accented word to my user dictionary with a single click is beyond me.
I would guess that it's because the folks who are in charge of adding features to InDesign didn't figure that anyone was going to need a one-click way to do this. As a language-industry pro I am somewhat horrified that you overtly want to pollute your dictionary with words from multiple languages... but hey, this is your project and your working environment, so it's your call. That being said, I can think of a few potential workarounds:
1) Adding a keyboard shortcut for Edit -> Spelling -> User Dictionary. That way, once your word is highlighted, you only need to enter two keystrokes - one for your shortcut, then Enter to add the highlighted word.
2) If you were to upgrade to a later version of InDesign, you might be able to use Adobe Configurator to create a custom panel that would have a single button to add a word to a user dictionary. Unfortunately, it seems that it's not available for CS4.
3) Put in a feature request, and wait.

How do I uncheck "Check spelling while typing" forever?

Hi, when writing in some applications such as text edit it automatically does a spelling check and underlines the words that are not spelled correctly with red. And every time I write something I uncheck this, because I type in both English, Swedish, slang... Etc. I just don't want this function. But then when I quit the application and restarts it, this option is checked once again. I can't seem to get it to be unchecked forever. I JUST DON'T WANT THIS FUNCTION!
Any help would be appreciated.

I disabled this as well, and it stays disabled. If you went to TextEdit->Preferences and unchecked the "Check spelling as you type" and also "Check grammar with spelling" then closed the preference, the plist file should be altered. After you have done this, check the plist file:
/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/com.apple.TextEdit.plist
It should show "Date Modified" as being the time when you do the alteration. Also, you might do a GetInfo on the file and see what the Sharing&Permissions say. They should be
yourname=Read & Write
everyone=No Access
If all that is true but it still isn't working, you could try tossing the plist file, relaunch TextEdit, and reset the preferences. A new plist file should be created.
Finally, I have seen cases where people having File Vault active have problems with plists not functioning correctly, and being reset to default behaviors after shutdown and restart.

Check spelling as you type + pasted text.

With the "Check spelling as you type" enabled, if you were to copy some text from another window / application and paste into a "new message" window, the spell checker does not check it.
Originally this was not a problem as pressing "Command + ;" (semi-colon) would search forward for the errors - but this does not seem to work in Mail v2.
The only solution I have found so far is to press "Alt + Right Arrow" to move between the words.
Regards,
Craig
PS: Yes I know about the spell checker window... but I cant get along with it (don't know why).
PowerMac G5 (quad) Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Look at this a little more, it seems that the
Edit > Spelling > Check Spelling
menu item is disabled... I presume this needs to be enabled for it to work like it used to (skip to the next word which is incorrectly spelt)

Check spelling

OK, I give, when I go to Commands>Check Spelling in DW CS5 nothing seems to happen. The command is not greyed-out. I have tried deliberately putting in a misspelled word, but to no avail. Is there a preference to set or some condition to meet before the Check Spelling function will activate?

Cannot turn-off Auto Correction and leave Check Spelling On

For some reason, when you turn off Auto correction- (keyboard settings) it also turns off check spelling.
Hope thesre is a fix for this.

I wish I knew the answer to that and many other questions. We are all just other iPad users like you trying to help each other sort through any problems that may arise. Frankly, I would love to be able to turn off auto correct and keep spell check on just like you. The only recourse we have right now is to offer our feedback to Apple about it and you can do that by clicking on this...

Check spelling while typing feature (in iCal) disables itself continuously

Hi there,
We use the iCal regularly to do write-ups for each appointment everyday. The past month or so I've noticed that everyday that I go into iCal, I have to re-check off the "Check spelling while typing" preference. Every day, I check it and then for some reason, it goes back to "correct spelling automatically" by some sort of possible default. We've never had that problem before.
Any ideas on a fix for this?
Thanks!
~Natalie

~Natalie,
If you are referring to the Calendar>Edit>"Show Spelling and Grammar" pane, you may also want to check your System Preferences...>Keyboard>Text>"Correct spelling automatically" setting.

Photoshop CS3 has encountered a problem...

Well, I've spent 2 days trying to fix this issue on my own, it's time for me to reach out and find out if anyone out there can help me! I can open a Photoshop image fine, but when I try to open a 2nd image (which I almost always do), I get an error message that says Adobe Photoshop CS3 has encountered a problem and has to shut down. This is disastrous, I can't do my work! I have Windows XP, and last week a technician loaded Microsoft Expression Web 3 on my computer... as far as I know, that's the only thing that has changed. Photoshop worked fine last week, but it was probably before Expression Web was installed. He also has to install Framework.net, he said when he tried to install Expression Web, he got a message saying he needed to install Framework.net first... I have no idea what version of that I have, don't even know what it is. I didn't look over his shoulder as he was installing... he did say that Expression specified an older version of Framework.net, but I don't remember what version.
I'm concerned that maybe what he installed caused some kind of incompatibility, I know that I'm a couple of versions behind with CS3. If that's the case, I have to beg and plead my management for an upgrade, but I have to research this first. Can anyone help me?

How are you opening the second file? Using the File-Open dialog?
I ask because Microsoft Expression Web is supposed to deliver a codec that understands how to make thumbnails for .psd files, and since an Explorer-like window is involved with File-Open, I put two and two together and it seems that the codec might not be playing well with Adobe's File-Open dialog.
It's been a long, long while but I have a distant memory that there's a way to have Photoshop use an alternate File-Open dialog, or at least there once was... I think it was a button at the lower left of the File-Open dialog. Try changing that.

Convergence Spelling Verifier Problem

Running with Convergence Patch T137631-08 & Replacement iwc-client.zip that fixed previous problems. I realize its a T-patch, and options are limited.
When attepmting to do a Spelling Check either by clicking on the ABC icon or via the Spell Check Options; the Check Spelling panel alway comes up with "Completed Spell checking.' and doesn't find anything mispelled. This probably worked previously, but I don't remember.
TIA - Steve

bug #6844905 - "Spell check mechanism ignores the language selected by the user and uses session language instead"
This bug will be fixed in the upcoming patch -09 (due in ~1 week assuming QA signs off on it).
Do you see the problem with all browsers?
