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.

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

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:

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.

Outlook 2010 Spell Checker AutoCorrect Issue

I have a senior executive who is running Office Professional 2010 Plus (32-bit) on Windows 7 Enterprise. His Outlook spell checker has been working fine up to very recently (not sure of the exact date of his issue).
AutoCorrect is turned on in Outlook.
When he types an E-mail, if a word is typed incorrectly, Outlook will not flag it with the red curly lines until he presses the Enter button one time. From that point forward, incorrect words will be marked once he presses the spacebar. No correction
occurs until the Enter button is pressed one time.
I ran a repair on Office on his machine and disabled then re-enabled "Check Spelling as you type."
Can anyone advise what is wrong .. that the user must press the Enter key one time to start the spell checker. It is not doing it on either of my 2 machines.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Compare the AutoCorrect setting from the File > Options > Mail > Spelling and AutoCorrect > AutoCorrect Options, is there any difference between yours and the following one?

IOS 7 'Check Spelling' red underlining disappears even if the word isn't corrected

In previous versions of iOS if a user misspelled a word and 'check spelling' was enabled in the settings menu, the misspelled word would be underlined in red and remain underlined in red until it was corrected or the message was sent. It appears that in iOS 7 the message editor will underline it in red initially and then it disappears once you start typing the next word. Is this a known issue?

Stollerd, I am experiencing same issue and I just spoke to Apple. They did not seem to have known about it, but now they do. They did read this thread and other threads while I had them on the phone. They did not have any solution at this time, but I asked them to make sure that the problem is recorded and escalated.
Just for the info: if they ask you to do some troubleshooting steps on your phone when you call in to report this issue - there is no reason to do that, because there is nothing that is wrong with your phone; the problem lies within the iOS7 and not your phone. I have access to many brand new phone units and I did some testing; no reason for you to repeat the same. If they want to try something out, they can do it with their own phones and find out the results.

I unchecked "Check spelling as you type" but Firefox still underlines words in cut-and-pasted text in some web apps. How can I stop it from doing this?

I'm using an online web mapping application that has input boxes for descriptive text and stuff like that. Sometimes I copy blocks of text from a word processing app into these input boxes because I can format the text in the wp. When I paste the text blocks, Firefox does the wiggly red underline on words it doesn't know. I've already turned off "check spelling as you type" but this doesn't make a difference. I don't want Firefox to check spelling on these text blocks that I copy and paste. Sometimes I need to capture screen images of these text blocks in the mapping application and I want them to look clean. Thanks.

Does "Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu has a tick when this happens?
You can consider to disable the spell check underline by setting the ui.SpellCheckerUnderlineStyle pref to 0 (zero) on the <b>about:config</b> page.

Mac OSX: Flash CS3 Font Install Issues

Hi,
I have a Mac Powerbook G4 with OS X installed and Adobe CS3.
I've installed a font. The font works in Photoshop and Illustrator
but not in Flash CS3. Why? I've put the font in the Library/Fonts
folder and the User/Fonts folder and it still doesn't show up in
Flash. Apparently this is a problem for a number of people see
another forum here:
MAC
OSX: Flash CS3 Font Install Issues Forum
Please let me know what to do to fix this. I need to be able
to work with the font in all three applications Flash, Photoshop
and Illustrator.

Hi davidd61713525,
Sorry for not getting back to you sooner.
Unfortunately, it looks like something is wrong with the file system and the installer can't see the root drive to install to. A Google search returns numerous results affecting various products and the recurring theme is that something is wrong with the disk. There are many recommendations from various sources, but nothing definitive.
Here's a similar thread over on the Apple forums:
Broken Installer Permissions | Apple Support Communities
And a similar older one:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1203509
I would try the following options:
Try using the PKG installer. This is used Mac SysAdmins to install Flash Player within their organization and uses a slightly different installer path, which may or may not work.
Some people have had success with disk and permissions repair some have not. You can try running a disk and permissions repair. After the disk and permissions repair is complete, reboot the system and try to install again using either the online installer (get.adobe.com/flashplayer) or the offline installer, posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Mac page in the ‘Still having problems’ section.
If these options do not work, I'd reach out to Apple support to see if they have a suggestion. If you do find a resolution to this, please let me know. I'll be happy to share it with people that encounter the problem in the future.

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?

When I check spelling, after correcting the first misspelled word the rest of the missspelled words in the message are no longer marked as misspelled..

If, say, five words originally show as misspelled, after I correct the first one the other 4 no longer show as misspelled.

Hello. I too have a Mail spelling issue since Mavericks. My mail has never made any automatic corrections - only suggestions - and I am not sure how to get that going. Anyhow, these days when the speller doesn't recognise a word and I go in and add an accent to that word (alt+e+e), it infuriatingly sends the message immediately without continuing the spellceheck. Any ideas gratefully received.

Check spelling - is it just me...?

Does anyone else find it quite tricky to see where spelling mistakes/queries actually are on the page when you run run Edit > Spelling > Check Spelling ?
I would find it a lot easier to use if it had an option where it pointed at the word in question, or highlighted it in bright yellow or something. I'm working through quite a busy/complex set of pages at the moment and sometimes I just can't see where the queried words are.
Or is it just me? :-)

Brighton,
Just automate your spell checking!
No hunting required. Double-click in the panel and the error is selected.

Check spelling before sending an email, strange words

I have the default set to check spelling before sending an email, sometimes I get all kind of strange words that are not in my email show up as spelling errors. What do I need to change to correct this problem

Any examples of the words?
Are you replying to or forwarding messages created by users of Outlook or other Microsoft email products? Their messages are full of bloated Office-based non-standard coding that Thunderbird's spell checker struggles (and fails) to understand.
Fundamentally, if you can't see the text that the spell checker is complaining about, it almost certainly doesn't matter.
Next time you get a message that does this, go back to the original message, select it and use ctrl+u to see its source. You may be surprised at the sheer bulk of invisible and largely useless code in the message sent to you,
Such as:
<code>
<html xmlns:v=3D"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" xmlns:o=3D"urn:schemas-micr=
osoft-com:office:office" xmlns:w=3D"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word" =
xmlns:m=3D"http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2004/12/omml" xmlns=3D"http:=

<meta name=3D"Generator" content=3D"Microsoft Word 14 (filtered medium)">
<style></style>
>/head>
</code>
…and that's just the header.
