Turn off spell check in specific documents?

Hi,
Is there a way to turn off spell check permanently for a single document? I want it to be turned on always for all other documents, but not this one in particular. Thanks!

Tyler,
Language is a Text Style property and can be set to "None" in the Text Inspector, More pane. If you select all the text in this particular document, and set the Language to None, it appears that your spelling will not be checked. You may want to define a style with this property if you need to apply it to imported text.

Turn off Spell Checking permanently

I would like to turn off spell checking permanently. The red underlines disturbs me extremely much.
In Mail my setting for this seems to be accepted, but for other applications (eg Stickies and Text Editor), it turns back to default as soon as I restart the app. This is very annoying, and also very unlogical.
Is there a solution?

Wise-***.
As you probably know there are a lot of words that no dictionary understand. Especially if you mix swedish and english in the same documents, and also mix a lot of programming language.
Eg, some words that are underlined in my Stickies now:
Textwrangler, annoying, default, Omnifocus, Omnifocus-inställningar (which means Omnifocus-preferences), hibernatemode, Flash, and so on...
All my life I've never had any problems with spelling and I don't think I need the computer to tell me when I'm wrong, when I know I'm not (I'm not that good with english grammar though, as you may notice).
Bottom line: If I want to turn off a preference on my computer, I want it to be turned off.
There is a solution from 2008, I was hoping that Apple had fixed this...

How to turn off spell checking

Hello everyone,
I would like to know how I can turn off spellchecking in MAC OS X Tiger. Occasionally I write emails in German using my English MAC OS X and am bothered by red underlining. How can turn off this feature?
Thank you very much

Control-click in the text view where you're typing and choose Spelling > Spelling.... In the panel that appears, you can change the Dictionary from English to German if you like, or perhaps "Multilingual". That way both English and German dictionaries will be checked to see if the spelling is correct.
Hope this helps....

How do I turn off Firefox checking for updates (I am fed up with Firefox continually asking to update when I don't want to due to previous bad experiences)

I would like to turn off firefox checking for updates
I don't want to update due to previous bad experiences with updates (version 4 and version 5)
I am frustrated by being reminded on a daily basis to update when I don't want to

Use
*'''Firefox button -> Options -> |Advanced | -> |Update|''' and uncheck the update option, or opt to ask first.
* see [[Options window - Advanced panel#w_update-tab]]_update-tab
* and to downgrade
**[[installing a previous version of Firefox]]
** and the download itself [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html]
Also note that currently
* firefox 3.6 is still supported, and has had recent security updates
* plans are to continue supporting it despite any comment on the download page
**(not sure how long for but see https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Planning/2011-09-07#Questions.2C_Comments.2C_FYI ) confirming continuing support for Firefox 3.6
* Firefox 3.6 has updated with security fixes, so is I think now 3.6.22 ; but it is NOT currently trying to upgrade its users to the current firefox release (Firefox 6)

Keyboard input in other languages - How to turn off spell checker?

I have been trying to send text messages on the iPhone in my native language and it kept replacing all the words with english words. I have tried to turn off the spell checking, but no luck. I have asked the Apple Store employees, no luck there either. How can I type my messages in languages other than english? I don't need a spell checker in my language, I just want an option to turn off the english one.

Input is essentially English only for this version of the iPhone.

How can I turn off Facebook check-in notifications?

I keep getting notified when one of my facebook friends checks in to a certain location. Thing is I'm not interested in being informed of this. Is there a way to turn off check-in notifications? And before you answer, yes I have gone to Settings > Facebook > Push Notifications and turned off Nearby Friends and Place Tags.

Sorry Michael Bratley but English must clearly not be your first language when the guy clearly states he's already turned notifications off in settings then you tell him to do what he's already done lol
But dont feel bad it's the same story through out this forum
No one being able to help
And everyone posting silly pointless solutions that don't fix the issues
Anyone figured out why I only get nearby notifications (within the app) from only one person yet?
When I have all settings notifs turned off and nearby within Facebook app turned off too?

How can I turn off compatibilty check od plugins

Every day, every time, when i started firefox, it checks compatibility of all plugins and extension. Is there any way to turn off this function ?
Best regards

See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
This can also be a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
Delete the files extensions.* (extensions.sqlite, extensions.rdf, extensions.cache, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to reset the extensions registry.<br />
New files will be created when required.
See "Corrupt extension files":
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar (or click the "Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to do a compatibility check or see if there is an update.

Turning off spell checking in one document

Any way to stop spell checking one document only? It seems like it's either on or off for all documents, and I can't have it off for select documents.

Hi,
In iCal, Control-Click some text in an event note you are editing. From the contextual menu select Spelling and Grammar and de-select all items in the submenu.
Best wishes

How can I turn off blocking "check out" on a secure server?

Certain websites "Check Out" portions are blocked. Warning says " OCSP response is not yet valid (contains a date in the future)
Error code: sec_error_ocsp_future_response. Authorization of received data could not be verified."
What does this mean and how do I bypass it. One site in particular I have used many times in past.

hello donaldshaw, please check that date, time and timezone are set correctly on your device!

How do i turn off automatic plugin check on startup... I have turned off in options/advanced, but still checks on startup

on firefox startup I get two tabs... one for google (my home page) the other for plugin check. I go to tools/advanced and turn off startup check for plugins, the restart firefox... the plugin check tabe still appears. All of my plugins are up to date!!! How do I stop this auto plugin check from taking place each time I start up firefox? This never was a problem before, just started yesterday and I can't stop it.

I started using Fire Fox to get away from this crap. I consider this forced plug in thing to be a tracking Trojan and pop up adds. It's my opinion this has become no different than I.E. or any other Micro Soft application where I loose control of how I manage my own computer applications by having things forced on me that I necessarily don't want. I plan to quit using Fire Fox until I am assured this doesn't happen any more and and feel confident my browsing and other web activity is not being monitored and tracked by Mozilla. What other data and applications can we assume they are looking at on our computers? I think if this is the direction they are now headed, other folks should do the same thing.

HT5362 How do I turn off notifications for Software Updates? 'App Store' doesn't show in the list of notification apps. I want the background checks for updates, just not the notifications.

How do I turn off notifications for Software Updates?
In the 'Notifications' section of the 'System Preferences' app, there is no tab for managing the notifications of System Updates nor App Store.
Hey--- I like auto-checking for updates, and hey--- I like auto-downloading them in the background.
BUT I do not like being notified of updates in the middle of working! Especially when it's iTunes updates. Grrrr.
Any chance this is easy and I just missed it?
THANKS COMMUNITY!
