Grammar and spell check for mac user

Hi I recently got IMAC 21'' with OS X 10.8.5 .
I used to use Grammarly and Ginger it software in my previous window computer. For non english speaking person those softwares were very useful to edit ritings and email. Can anyone suggest whether I can install and use in my microsoft word in IMAC.
If not, are you aware about any other software (spelling and grammar checker) which is compatible with OSX.
I miss the ginger it . I love this MAc computer but miss to use those software. Any suggestions.

You can download MS Office 2011 (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint) for $140 from Microsoft. You could also download Pages (the Apple analogue to Word that reads and writes Word formatted files) for $20. Some people are choosing to use LibreOffice, which is free and duplicates almost all of the Office 11 features. So you have several choices from expensive to free.

Grammar and Spell Check

Hello,
We are going to use the .pdf format as a print preview
function in our system. Is there a way that we can have Adobe do a
spell/grammar check when the print preview is displayed?
Thanks!

French translation program with grammar and spell check?

Does anyone know of any really good translation programs where you can write a document in english and the program will translate it to french? The program would also need to have spell and grammar checks. Thanks

I know that there's one on the dashboard. You can use google translate but you can't download that one.

How can I enforce automatic spell checking for selected fields of data entered by form users?

I'd like to be able to enforce spell checking of selected fields in the forms that I've created using LiveCycle Designer 8.2 at run time, as opposed to design time. I understand the version LCD 8 has a nifty new spell checker for form designers. But I want to spell check the data entered by users using Acrobat Reader. And I want to enforce the spell checking automatically on selected fields only.
Presently it seems that users filling in my forms, must know how to manually right-click on each field and select "Spell Check" from the resulting dialog box in order to check for spelling errors in the data the user has entered in the form.
I would like to discover a way to enforce spell checking in selected fields, just as I am able to do in forms created using Acrobat Pro. In Acrobat Pro, I can set a property for each field to require spell checking. but that feature seems to be missing in Livecycle Designer.
I've check the Object model for XFA forms hoping that I might find a method I can call with a Javascript, to check spelling based on an event such as onBlur. But I haven't found a spell check method.
Am I missing something simple? Is there a way to set each field to be spell checked when a user is filling in the form using the free Acrobat Reader?
Our users are not sophisticated and requiring them to spell check each field separately just won't cut it...
Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi David,
Two things...
At design time set the locale of the form to one that Acrobat spell checks. For example English (US) and English (UK) locales have spell checkers; however English (Ireland) does not. Check the Warnings tab to see if spell checking is supported for your locale.
If your form locale supports spell checking then you can go to the button script below.
If you form locale does NOT support spell checking then Stephanie has a great work around to force spell checking (http://forums.adobe.com/message/2233945#2233945).
Bring a regular button onto the form and in the click event have the following:
app.execMenuItem("Spelling:Check Spelling");
Which will open the spell checker for all fields. Thanks to Paul for extracting all of the accessible menu items (http://forums.adobe.com/message/1912914#1912914).
Good luck,
Niall

Spell check for microsoft word and excel not working?

Hi all,
I seem to have a problem of spell check for micrsoft word / excel not working. It all stemed with me deleting microsoft office from my computer, after thinking it was playing havoc on my system, (making it slower and sending a strange attachment with some emails) but after one week I relaised i needed it, i tried loading it again, but now the spell check doesnt seem to work?
also if any one can tell me, regarding my strange attachment. i was told today that "ATT00034" is sent because it contains font information that is not supported to the people i send it to? im not sure?
thanks to all

Since Office is not an Apple product, you'll probably want to use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://www.microsoft.com/mac/community/community.aspx?pid=newsgroups> rather than an Apple forum
Be sure to search the forum first in case someone has already had a similar question answered.

Mail and Address book

How can I enable spell checking for a text box that is just one line, e.g. subject in e-mail?

In a prior version of Firefox I found a website somewhere that told me what to do to enable spell checking for text boxes that are just one line. I got used to being able to send an e-mail with a Subject Line that didn't have a misspelling. Now it doesn't work. Please tell me how I can enable that again. I am on a Mac using Firefox 6.0.2. Thanks!

See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Spell_checking
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/layout.spellcheckDefault
You can set the pref layout.spellcheckDefault to 2 on the about:config page.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

Spell Check in Mac doesn't know the simplest words

I came into Mac 5 years ago still waiting for a decent 'Spell Ck'.
For example, 'unexceptable', and spell check didn't have a clue if spelled wrong or right.
I've been hitting 'learn' for years. Or forced to Google.
I don't get it.
What the heck is out there that outdoes the PC version I had years ago?
Careless writing it wrong is no excuse anywhere.
Thanks

Oh My, I opened that link and cracked up in .03 seconds.
I'll admit though, in here we are pretty lucky.
Out there, OOOooooo it's scary. Look at any YouTube page.
Something is in the water used for cool-aid.
I travel quite often to Europe.
From Germany to Sweden, I'm so impressed by the kids that not only learn the
disambiguation of our language, but speak clearly.
I feel bad, and a little embarrassed that at my age, it's tough to dedicate the time to learn a foreign language.
The poor gal in Germany in small village general store tried so hard to understand me.
I tried to explain I wanted hamburger for camping. Who knows how that came across.
I could not read one package on the shelfs. Even melk comes in grades I never saw before.
She came back with liter of motor oil.
Maybe she knew the Beamer out front is what I needed vs what I wanted.
I politely said thanks, and continued on tour with the oil.
Cheers

Spell check for Turkish

I try to use pages for my reports or notes.
Pages does not perform spell check in Turkish, same as the mail, I can't think of anybody in todays life and does not use mail. When will Turkish users have language support in our own language? I don't mean sceens, they are in Turkish but when I write someting in Mail, its all red underlined.
Thanks to those interested.

You can add spell check for other languages:

No Wimbledon for Mac users

I would have liked to watch the Wimbledon finals on my computer, but according to their site Apple computers are not supported "due to the digital rights management and sharing technology used".
http://wimbledon.mediazone.com/US/subscribe.html
http://img.skitch.com/20080705-dj5mu9mn985trq6f4pn3bufhba.jpg
I don't know what they're referring to exactly, and honestly I don't really care.
But I'm tired of things being unavailable for Mac users. Apple, what are you doing about it??
thanks,
Liz

You can view them by paying a subscription. They use the WMV format (bless 'em!) so you will need Flip4Mac WMV Player from... On Wimbledon.com's subscription page, they specifically tell Mac users that they are not supported.
Unfortunately, it appears they will not be supported on a Mac under OS X. According to a comment on the UK site, it appears viewing will require VMV 10/11 which leaves out Mac users whose Flip4Mac support only extends as high as WMV 9. However, all of the "archives" and "free" material seems to be encoded with WMV 9 and is still accessible.
That's where Apple needs to be on the ball and if there is an easy solution, make sure that the folks at Wimbledon.com know about it, and that they make it available to their subscribers.
What you seem to fail to realize is the fact that WMV DRM and Apple's DRM are mutually incompatible and in direct competition with one another other. Further, you seem to think it is Apple's responsibility to initiate and organize "a commission on standards compliance." I hate to break the news, but as already been pointed out above, Apple compression formats, in almost every case, adhere to open standards already agreed upon by the ISO/IEC Moving Pictures Expert Group. It is the proprietary software developers which add their own enhancements, "improvements", and/or mix/merge various profiles/features/capabilities that you must convince to adhere to the already established standards.
I can't take electronic books, videos, or music out of my local library because I have a Mac, and they use OverDrive. Can you honestly tell me that's not Apple's problem?
How is it Apple's problem that the Libraries also opted to use WMV and its DRM over Apple's? Further, if you check out what the Overdrive Console is in actuality, you will find it is simply management software which performs the same functions as Apple's iTunes -- i.e., the prevention of unauthorized burning or distribution of DMR files, the timely forced expiration of "overdue" content, and the selection, access, and management of Library System media. Let's face it, in many ways Microsoft's DRM capabilities are more business oriented where Apple is more home entertainment/personal user oriented. I can't say that I really blame business oriented, "bottom line" sites for selecting one over the other here.
I don't deny that there is a workaround and that with some knowledge, you can make it work,
The only real workaround I see here is to have a Mac Intel system with functioning Windows XP, Vista, or similar Windows OS that supports WMV Player v10 or v11. Since I really don't care about viewing any of the sites or content that you seem to feel are so important, this is not a "hot issue" for me one way are the other.

Spell Check For Mail (10.5.7)

Does anyone know of a good, reliable spell check for Mail?

Ok. Not sure what I did - but I can now select "Show Spelling & Grammar.
However, when I now miss-spell a word, it gets underlined in red (check spelling as you type).
This where I need educating. I would have presumed that I could click the underlined word and be shown spelling suggestions (because I get this option in so many other software packages).
Secondly, is there a way of doing the following:
1. Automatically launch the spell checker before sending? Or do I have to manually launch the spell checker each and every time? If I check "Show Spelling & Grammar) it defaults to not showing it when I re-launch.
2. Can I Customize a button for the toolbar in oredr to have Spelling be launched from a click of a button?

Safari and spell checking

Still new and still learning....
I am unable to believe that the safari browser doesn't have a spell checker for typed fields like this one I'm typing in without having to reactivate.
"The Check Spelling as You Type" feature only remains active as long as Safari is open; it must be reactivated each time the browser starts.
Is there a way (or a plug in) that will work around this?
My Google tool bar took care of that (on that old evil PC I have)
Thanks

Where would I find what you have mentioned below? I'm in the process of switching from a lifetime of PC and I still get a little lost on the mac file structure
Have you tried
deleting your com.apple.Safari.plist file in your
~/Library/Preferences/ folder while Safari is not
open (then reopen Safari, select "Check Spelling as I
type", close Safari, open it again and it should
stick)?

I would like to suggest a Verizon-specific forum for Mac-users

Verizon is the largest provider of wireless and other related solutions. When I have problems with my Mac or supporting services I am consistently able to find solutions on either the Mac or Verizon forums. However, this takes quite a bit of effort to locate the right answer for my problem. And, this takes a lot of time.
I would like to harness solutions for Mac-users who are Verizon customers all in one place. This could make it easier for Mac-users to get quick answers. This could also be a great referral point for Verizon as it sorts out answers/solutions for Mac users.
Currently, Verizon hears from less than .05% of its customers that there are any issues of compatibility, less access to great services, needs for solutions for Mac. However Mac users represent at least 20% of computer users around the US. On the one hand you can infer that there are issues with less than .05% of the Mac universe or, on the other hand, you can infer that many just don't go to Verizon for the solutions.
I am not sure which is right. I just know that having solutions in one place, my Mac home, would be useful. I hope you will consider the idea.
I do realize no forums are dedicated to any one provider. However, Verizon, again, is the biggest provider. Maybe this is worthy of a forum.

Hi,
I this case I don't see the need to duplicate services that are independent and already out there

This British one has ISP related forums as well as OS specific issue ones

If I had Internet Connection problems and my ISP seemed unable to help me then I would look to those.
I am sure there are many that are also Language based all over the world or at least country based where a language is spoken in more than one part of the world.
It is about the level of question involved and some may already get answered in the "Getting On Line" and similar forums already here.

A collection of FLV downloader, FLV player, and FLV converter for Mac

A collection of FLV downloader, FLV player, and FLV converter for Mac
Are you prepared to download FLV videos from YouTube, Google Video, metacafe, Yahoo! Video, Reuters.com, and many other video websites to play on your Mac or portable players, or do some further editing with certain editors? In my experience, assuming you have this idea, you must take advantage of three kinds of tools, including FLV downloader, FLV player, and FLV converter to achieve the goal.
Of course, I am not speaking this to depress you, but to share my collections of these tools to show my kindness. Sure, just for people who have these needs.
At first, I’ll introduce you several FLV downloaders for Mac, I have tried all of them, and basically they can achieve my goal of downloading FLV videos online.
Free FLV downloaders for Mac:
Web Video Downloader for Firefox
Free Video Downloader for Mac
Free YouTube Downloader for Mac
I also know some free FLV players, and recommend them to you here, hope they can assist you to play FLV videos on your Mac smoothly.
Free FLV player, Mac OS X:
Adobe Media Player
Wimpy FLV Player
QuickTime, after installation of the Perian video plugin
SWF & FLV Player
CorePlayer
(Tip: the above pieces of software can easily be searched in Google, so I do not give you the links here. I’m sure you can get them with ease.)
Well, we have gone through the FLV downloaders and FLV players in the above passages, now it’s time to introduce you a FLV converter for Mac. This program I recommend is Pavtube FLV Converter for Mac, which can perfectly convert FLV videos to a wide range of video formats, so that you can do whatever you like with the resulted videos, such as playing on your iPod, iPhone, BlackBerry, PSP, Apple TV, etc. or exporting to iMovie, Final Cut Pro and Final Cut Express to do further editing, or doing something else as you like. But how to use it? You may ask me. Take it easy, a step-by-step instruction is involved in the following part.
1. Download, install and run this program
A sky-blue interface will be shown to you as follow:
2. Add files, set output format and destination folder
Input FLV files to it by clicking button “Add”, and select a format as the output format in the drop-down list of “Format”, meanwhile, you can press “Browse” to specify the destination folder or just use the path set by default.
3. Set advanced settings
Click button[b] “Settings”, the following interface will pop up. You can change the parameters like screen size, bit rate, frame rate, sample rate, etc. to optimize the output videos.
4. Convert
This FLV Converter for mac can definitely complete the conversion at a swift speed with excellent quality, also it do not have the problem of audio-video out of sync. Therefore you need not worry about these issues. Moreover, if you want to add watermark as your own logo or reserve your copyright, you can totally do it with this program.
Ok, the introduction to the three kinds of tools which you may need while dealing with FLV videos is over, sincerely hope they can deliver you useful information, because you know, it’s my original intention.

Hi Greg,
So if I understand correctly, your findings are:
Flash Player 10.1.85.3 + Flash Media Interactive Server = Jerky Video
Flash Player 10.0.x.x + Flash Media Interactive Server = Smooth Video
Flash Player 10.1.85.3 + Wowza = Smooth Video
And what about Flash Player 10.0.x.x + Wowza?
Also, if you could check the network traffic to confirm if it's Flash Player causing the issue or it is receiving it like that from FMIS.
Cheers
