CS5 DW Spell Checker

I get an error message that says "The spell checker could not be initialized." How do I fix that?

Hello,
did you follow this here (see in particular, point 1):

CS5: Spell Checking in Preview Mode?

I like to compose in a WYSIWYG interface, so I use Preview Mode to dodge all the visual distractions. I may be mistaken, but it seems like the upgrade to CS5 killed the ability to see spellcheck cues in Preview. I guess it makes sense, but I was wondering if there is a pref or a setting I am missing to enable it. Thanks!

Are you talking about Dynamic Spelling or the traditional spell checker under the edit menu?
The latter should be showing you highlighted words it finds, the former disappears.

Spell Check in Photoshop CS5

When I use the spell checker in Photoshop CS5 to check a text layer (in English), all I ever get is a message saying "Spell check complete" -- never any evidence of any errors being detected. It would be nice to think I'm a perfect speller, but the reality is it does this even when I can clearly see there are mistakes (for example, I've tested it by inserting gibberish words into my text). Where are the spelling dictionaries, etc. installed, and what files should I find there for English spelling?
Thanks!

Did you select the text to be checked first with the Horizontal Text Tool?
Do you have the proper language selected in the Character panel?

Illustrator CS5 Spell Check No Longer Works?

Mac 10.8.5, Illustrator CS5
Spell Check has stop working... it no longer picks up any misspellings. Any ideas?

What language is assigned to the file? Make sure that the More Options are shown in the Character panel and at the bottom, what language is assigned?

In Design CS5 Spell check skipping text boxes

I'm running Mac OSX 10.5.8 on my MacBook.
I am working on a menu with a number of text boxes. When I do spell check it seems to only check the box where the cursor is located. I have tried doing Cmd+A ( to select all the boxes on a page) and it doesn't seem to help.
I have dynamic spelling enabled, but there are words I know spellcheck dislikes that don't have red lines beneath them.
I have all the preferences checked and Language:English:USA is in place. Case sensitive is also checked.
Any ideas? I'm nervous I'm going to miss a spelling error which will doubtless subject me to endless ribbing from my coworkers. However, selecting the actual words in each individual text box will take forever.
Thanks!

That's what I thought, but it didn't seem to be doing so. There are a number of words I haven't added to my dictionary purposefully - such as bleu - because, while I use them a lot when doing menus, I'd hate to have the word "blue" misspelled in another doc and miss it.
You can create a character style with the language property, such as French, and any other specific properties you like. ID uses the specified [EDIT] language's ]/EDIT] dictionary when spell-checking content, so "bleu" tagged with the French character style will pass the checker, but "bleu" tagged by default as your default language, like the overwhelming preponderance of your text, will be detected as an error.

Multi-language spell check?

Hello all,
new to Dreamweaver (CS5, Mac), but with 15+ years of experience with HTML and GoLive, I have some difficulties finding my way. Not all my q.s are answered in the help, The Missing Manual or the FAQs. Like this one:
I have a multi-language site, and even some of the individual pages are multi-language. Is it true that the DW CS5 spellchecker gets the dictionary to use for the check from the prefs? I have a language info in all of my pages (<meta http-equiv="Content-language" content="...">); is it true that DW does not use this information?
To be specific: If I want to check several pages, some of which are all-English, others all-German, it looks as if I have to change the preferences between spell checks; is that true?
It also looks as if, when a page contains more than one language, I have no real check option at all; true?
Thanks for any enlightenment you may be able to give; so far, the DW experience has not been pure joy. Some things were *so* much easier and faster in GoLive! (Well, not multi-language spell checks, I concede that.)
Lutz Pietschker

No, you cannot get around switching prefs for the language when switching language. It would be good if it could work like in InDesign where you can mix languages however you like and always have it spellcheck in the correct language. But it cannot.
(I agree to your last paragraph - many things were so much easier, flexible and faster in GoLive - and I haven't even mentioned the site management which as I see it is next to non-existent in DW).

Spell Check Crashes Illustrator CC

FYI - When spell check hits a word that is on a path, it crashes the program. Happening consistently for more.

Hi Chunter,
Are you using any 3rd party plug-ins or any special font plug-in in Illustrator ?
Reason behind this is that, I have isolated the root cause and its the text object (attached in the snapshot). More over when I try to edit this text I get a warning dialog also.
This crash is also in AI CS6 and AI CS5. To me it seems to be a corrupt type object which is causing the crash. Can you please try to create a new similar type object artwork. And also the below listed text "AND SERVING AS AN EXAMPLE OF" should be present there otherwise the Check Spelling will do nothing.
With Best Regards,
Raghuveer

Zoom to error on spell checker

Hi all,
If zoomed in to an area in Illustrator CS5 and run the spell checker it would pan around the job showing where each spelling error instance was. This function seems to have gone in CC v17 the spell checker works but does not show where the error is. Any ideas or suggestions please?

HI I have submitted your request to the amo team. Please keep track of updates there as well. However I am sorry I do not have an ETA on this request at this time.

How can I Spell Check with an Action?

Hi -
I can use the Spell Checking command while I'm recording a new Action but when I play that
Action it gets stuck on the first step... "Spell Check in contents of all text layer". I didn't write that first step - PShop did while I was recording the Action. Whe I try to use the Action I get an alert ... "The object "in contents of all text layer" is not currently available."
If I hit Stop - the Action stops.
If I hit Continue - the Action stops.
So how do I Spell check using an Action? I plan to use this in a batch process. I have about 300 files and automating this would be great.
TIA any insight,
JL
--Photoshop CS5, Win 7

See if using Insert Menu Item works for the spell check.

Spell check grayed out

For some reason spell check is grayed out in my Dreamweaver CS5. I've tried it in both design and source code view; same problem. Anyone have a suggestion?

Reboot. Could be a glitch caused by low memory.
If that doesn't help, this solution is from the DW FAQ.
"...unexplained problems
If Dreamweaver is acting erratically, or if you see a message saying "the following JavaScript error(s) occurred", it's usually a sign of a corrupt cache file. The first thing to try should always be to delete the file cache. If that doesn't work, delete your personal Configuration folder. Full instructions are in Deleting a corrupted cache file."

Run-on spell check

Hi, I use InDesign CS5 to write technical manuals. I don’t know if it’s because they contain many charts, illustrations, etc., but every time I check spelling, the Spell Check feature jumps randomly through the document, rechecking the same pages over and over. It misses misspelled words, rechecks accepted ones and I usually just turn it off after the second or third pass of the title page. I’ve selected US English, researched your website and forums and can’t find any reference to this problem. Am I alone, or is there some way to make it search the document thoroughly, in order, once?
Thanks,
Larry

(I've moved your thread to the InDesign General forum. I've also locked your duplicate thread in the Forum Comments forum, which is only for administrative questions about the forum).

InDesign's spell-checking feature checks the document in order by text frame, each text frame in the order of creation. That means that it jumps around and may hit the same page more than once, but should not hit the same word or phrase or textframe more than once.
I filed a bug for this (#2911712) in July of 2011. If you choose to open a case with Adobe Support about it, citing that bug number might be helpful.
This is also a problem with Find/Change.

I can't use word because a box keeps popping up saying that it can't find the spell check files?

I open Word and there is a pop-up message saying that word cannot start the spelling checker because the files may be missing and to make sure that the spell checker files are installed or use the Microsoft installer to install spell checker. I have never had this problem with Word before and spell check has always been fine. What should I do?

Since word is made by Microsoft you should post your question on their own forums for their Mac software as Apple Communities only provide support for Apple products:

Pages 08 Spell Checker Not Working

When I started using Pages 08, I turned on the Spelling --> Check Spelling As You Type. One day it stopped to work, in fact I do not know whether it is working or not since the red lines that highlighted incorrectly-spelled text no longer appeared. I tried turning the feature on and off several times, and fiddled with Text Inspector, but have foind no solution to this. Please advise, anyone. Thanks.

Repairing Permissions did not do anything for me. I have tried various and other sundry things as found in other messages about this major issue w/ Pages, but to no avail. Spell check works fine in other apps, TextEdit for example.

Pages 08 spell checker not working after pasting in a windows document.

I am working Pages 08. I pasted a Windows document ( Microsoft word I am assuming ? ) that I saved from another email account(not safari,school based) into my Pages document. Now the spell checker will not work in the Pages document only, Works fine everywhere else. Even if I paste the Pages text into a new document the checker will not work in the document. Any suggestions /

I figured it out. The language was set to none in the inspector

Pages 08 - Spell check as you type has stopped working

Hi,
My Pages 08, which is ticked to 'check spelling whilst typing' is no longer checking spelling as I type.
It was working fine yesterday, but has stopped today.
Moreover, it's not even spell checking when I ask it to do it manually.
Can anyone help?
Regards,

I didn't install the British English language on my machines so I can't check the behavior of Pages when this language is the first one.
Here is the brute force way describer for the Blank template used in WP mode.
It would be the same for others.
ctrl click the Pages.app icon
show package's contents
open Contents
open Resources
open Templates
open Blank
ctrl click Blank.template
duplicate index-iso.xml.gz or index-trad.xml.gz in a safe area (folder named Pages-Blank-template ).
double click index-iso.xml.gz or index-trad.xml.gz
You will get index-iso.xml or index-trad.xml
Open it with TextEdit or TextWrangler for instance.
Search for
<sf:language><sf:null/></sf:language>
Replace all occurences by
<sf:language><sf:string sfa:string="en_GB"/></sf:language>
save index-iso.xml or index-trad.xml
for English, the replacement string would be:
<sf:language><sf:string sfa:string="en"/></sf:language>
for French it would be:
<sf:language><sf:string sfa:string="fr"/></sf:language>
for Spanish it would be:
<sf:language><sf:string sfa:string="sp"/></sf:language>
The next time you will use this template, it will default to British English everywhere.
