How do i get the spell check?

how do i get spell check on my macbook pro? when i say spell check i mean do they have the correction for capitals at the beginning of a sentence.
thanks for any help

It's application dependent, usually. Which application(s) do you need need for spell check? There is not, to my knowledge, any system-wide third-party spell/grammar checking software that works independently of an application. (I could be wrong about that, though - there is something named "1Checker" in the Mac App Store).

  • How do I get the Spell Check to work. There is no drop down tab for spell checking in the edit tab.

    I do not have Spell Checking tab in my Edit tab. Firefox will underline a misspelled word but I can not access the spell check.
    == This happened ==
    Not sure how often

    I tried doing the following: When spell-checking is enabled, you can easily correct misspelled words. To correct the misspelled word, right-clickhold down the Ctrl key while you click on it and select one of the suggested words at the top of the menu.
    Believe this is for a PC. I have a MacBook Pro laptop. What do I do.

  • How do you change the Spell Check language

    I have a question, how do you change the spell check language so that it spell checks in a different language... such as French?

    Here is a copy of an e-mail that I sent to Yvan asking about this (translated from French):
    +Hello Yvan,+
    +I saw your answer SirCram's message (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7526551&#7526551) in which you showed a dialogue box called "text"+
    +Sadly, I have only recently started using a Mac (and I am therefore unfamiliar with Pages) so I find no way to open said box.+
    +Could you please make me a list of instructions or show me an Apple Support page that would assist this recent Mac convert in learning this simple action?+
    +Thank-you in advance,+

  • How can I eliminate the spell check in Firefox?

    I do not want to have the spell check active when I use Firefox, how can I eliminate it?

    You want to disable the spell check in forms (e.g., data entry controls like the one I'm typing in right now)? You can do this using the about:config preferences editor.
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the filter box, type or paste '''spell''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click '''layout.spellcheckDefault''' and change it to 0 (''zero'') and click OK.
    You're done, you can close that tab.
    The change should take effect the next time you reload the form.

  • I have a load of songs in a checklist, how can I get the ones checked to play?

    I have a load of songs that I have check boxes next to. I want to get the ones that the user checks to play one after the other like a playlist?
    How can I do this? I'm new to macros etc.
    Thank you!

    Check boxes won't work. You need an actual player that supports playlists.  
    Have a look at Pickle Player.

  • How do you alter the spell check on an iPad?

    I type my name or email and it always suggests something else. I want to add the new word so that it doesn't "correct" it again!

    The system setting for spell check  ... go to Settings>General>Keyboard>Check Spelling. You have to keep Auto-Correction enabled to turn Spell Check on, but you can turn spell check off and leave Auto-Correction on.
    However, in your case, you want to disable Auto Correction because that is what keeps trying to correct what you are typing.
    The way the system is designed to work is that if you keep rejecting the "suggested" spelling of the iPad's auto correct by pressing the X in the blue suggested word, the iPad should eventually learn your word.

  • I use MSN Hotmail for my email. Why do I no longer have the spell check option with Firefox. Do I need to download a dictionary? How do I do this?

    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:

  • Tried to update an app and it asked for the password to my sister's Apple ID. I then checked to see whose Apple ID was logged in, in settings and it said that I was logged in. How do I get the app store to ask for MY Apple ID, not my sister's?

    Tried to update an app on my phone but when it asked me to give the password for my AppleID, it was asking for the password to my sister's AppleID. I went to setting and down to itunes&app store settings and checked which AppleID was logged in, but i found that it was my AppleID that was logged in, not my my sisters. I then tried logging out and logging back in again but the app store, regardless of this, still asks me for my sister's AppleID and I don't know her password...How do I get the app store to ask me for MY AppleID password, not my sister's?

    If this app was bought by your sister with her Apple ID, only her ID can update the app.

  • How to implement the spell check in oracle forms 10g or 6i...

    How to implement the spell check in oracle forms.
    Is there any different method is there.
    Please help me....
    Praveen.K

    Here is one different from Jspell..
    In 6i client/server you can call MS Word spell checker using OLE. Below sample code for 6i.
    For 10g you will need webutil to use same code. install webutil and just replace "OLE2." with "CLIENT_OLE2."
    PROCEDURE spell_check (item_name IN VARCHAR2)
    IS
       my_application   ole2.obj_type;
       my_documents     ole2.obj_type;
       my_document      ole2.obj_type;
       my_selection     ole2.obj_type;
       get_spell        ole2.obj_type;
       my_spell         ole2.obj_type;
       args             ole2.list_type;
       spell_checked    VARCHAR2 (4000);
       orig_text        VARCHAR2 (4000);
    BEGIN
       orig_text := NAME_IN (item_name);
       my_application := ole2.create_obj ('WORD.APPLICATION');
       ole2.set_property (my_application, 'VISIBLE', FALSE);
       my_documents := ole2.get_obj_property (my_application, 'DOCUMENTS');
       my_document := ole2.invoke_obj (my_documents, 'ADD');
       my_selection := ole2.get_obj_property (my_application, 'SELECTION');
       ole2.set_property (my_selection, 'TEXT', orig_text);
       get_spell :=ole2.get_obj_property (my_application, 'ACTIVEDOCUMENT');
       ole2.invoke (get_spell, 'CHECKSPELLING');
       ole2.invoke (my_selection, 'WholeStory');
       ole2.invoke (my_selection, 'Copy');
       spell_checked := ole2.get_char_property (my_selection, 'TEXT');
       spell_checked :=SUBSTR (REPLACE (spell_checked, CHR (13), CHR (10)),1,LENGTH (spell_checked));
       COPY (spell_checked, item_name);
       args := ole2.create_arglist;
       ole2.add_arg (args, 0);
       ole2.invoke (my_document, 'CLOSE', args);
       ole2.destroy_arglist (args);
       ole2.RELEASE_OBJ (my_selection);
       ole2.RELEASE_OBJ (get_spell);
       ole2.RELEASE_OBJ (my_document);
       ole2.RELEASE_OBJ (my_documents);
       ole2.invoke (my_application, 'QUIT');
       ole2.RELEASE_OBJ (my_application);
    END;Call it like this: SPELL_CHECK ('BLOCK.MY_TEXT_ITEM' );

  • How do I get the internet connection back onto ipad even though it connects to Wifi successfully and I have checked on my iPhone which does connect via the same wifi and to the internet?

    How do I get the internet connection back onto ipad even though it connects to Wifi successfully and I have checked on my iPhone which does connect via the same wifi and to the internet?

    Your router may not have given your iPod a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address shown starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
    Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPod (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
    If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make/model, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.
