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.
Edit: There's an option to choose the language at the bottom of the spellchecking-dialog in Kile [Tools->Spelling->Language]
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.

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.

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:
* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/language-tools/

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

I also meant to add the way the instructor for the course showed how to
write the code
for example; home_btn.addEventListener(Mouse...................) as so
on You mention no period after the btn unless a width or something how
could I change the code to be proper.
and also one for {

thanks again for your assistance.

How to troubleshoot issues that Spell Check is not working in Outlook 2013

When composing a new message in Outlook 2013, we may notice that Spell Checker does not recognize misspelled words. When we enter a completely garbage word in Outlook, it won’t be marked as misspelled with a red wave underline. When encountering such issue,
we may follow the troubleshooting guide below to correct it.
1. Make sure you are not typing in the signature area.
Outlook doesn't perform a spell check in the signature area, so if this is the case, spell check won’t work. To confirm if you are typing in the signature area, right click in the area you are typing, if you see a menu listed all you signatures instead of
the normal context menu, then you are not typing in the email body.
If you want spell check work in signature area, use Quick Parts instead of Signature. For more information, see
Quick Parts.
2. Check the Set Proofing Language option.
In Outlook, click New Email to open a new message, click
REVIEW tab > Language > Set Proofing Language, a dialog titled
Language will open.
Please first make sure English (United States) is shown above the double line. If not,
you must enable the language for it to be available to check spelling.
Second, make sure “Do not check spelling or grammar” check box is not selected.
Note: If this method fixes the problem, repeat steps 1 through 3 to reopen to the
Language dialog box, and then click Set As Default.
3. Enable Check spelling as you type.
To enable the option in Outlook, go to File > Options > Mail, click Spelling and Autocorrect button. In the Editor Options dialog, select the check box labelled “Check spelling as you type”.
4. Make sure that you are not using a standalone version of Outlook or mixed versions of Word and Outlook.
The “Check spelling as you type” feature doesn’t work when using a standalone installation of Outlook or mixed versions of Word and Outlook. However, the manual spell check always works. In this scenario, we can set Outlook to
always check spelling before sending. To do this, go to File > Options > Mail, select the check box before “Always check spelling before sending” in the Compose message section.
5. A registry key exists overriding the spell checker
To remove the registry key, please follow these:
Important This article contains information about how to modify the registry. Make sure that you
back up the registry before you modify it.
a. Press Windows key + R to open the Run command.
b. In the Run box, type regedit, and then press Enter.
c. Locate the following registry subkey:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Proofing Tools\1.0\Override
d. Delete or rename the subkey.
e. Exit Registry Editor. Restart Outlook.
6. Recreate the NormalEmail.dotm and Normal.dotm template
If the two templates above are corrupt, this issue may also happen. To fix it, please browse to:
drive:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates
Rename the two templates, then restart Outlook to see the result.
7. Problematic add-in
Add-ins may cause various issues in Outlook, so if you have tried all the suggestions and still no luck, try starting Outlook in safe mode to see if a problematic add-in is the culprit. To do this, exit Outlook, press Windows key + R to open the Run
command, then type outlook /safe and press Enter. If the problem disappeared in safe mode, then go to File > Options > Add-ins and disable the suspicious add-in to resolve the problem.

Spell check widget wont work

after updating from os 10.4 the spell check widget wont work. when i right, or control click, it just high lights the word.

I used to have many Widgets installed on my old iMac and don't remember a spelling one. On this new MBP with 10.6 there is no spelling widget. The closest thing is Dictionary. It doesn't offer spelling corrections, just definitions. You have to highlight the entire word and then Copy and Paste it into whatever document or application you are using.
At the universal level, built into the OS, are spelling tools. You do not have to leave your app. You do not have to highlight the entire word. All you have to do is right-click (control+click) on a word and get access to Spelling/Grammar/Dictionary and even Tweet it if you wish. No Dashboard is necessary.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
