    Pages 09 won't let me change spelling dictionary from French to English!
    I'm writing a syllabus for class and the spellcheck is stuck in French - for the life of me I can't change it.  The dictionary menu doesn't show up ANYWHERE.  Is this a bug?  is there a fix?

  • How to change spelling language?

    Can someone please tell me how to change the spell checking language in keynote??
    Thanks

    I just came across the same problem, and the solution is embarrassingly easy: Edit - Spelling - Spelling and choose your language dictionary in the Spelling window that pops up. That should do the trick.

  • How to change spelling language in Pages 09?

    I have just downloaded Pages on my Mac but the spelling is American so everything that is spelt with an "S" in English and "Z" in American is showing up with that red underline because it thinks it should be spelt with a "Z" and not "S". This is very annoying because I do not live in America and use American spelling in my normal every day life.

    I am having the same problem.... I have found out how to change it to British English as it is called, but it will not save that way, I will try and explain how to change it, but really its only step one of the problem!
    1. click on the inspector button, its on the right on the top bar of pages and is blue with an I in the middle
    2. look for the capitol T along the top of the inspector box and click
    3. near the bottom you will see language settings and here you can choose British English.
    What I need to know is how to get this to stay so that when I re-open this it doesn't go back to US English!
    Please help!!! I was so excited to get rid of MS Office as it had annoying faults, I really hope I can resolve this because so far I have been so pleased with iworks!

  • Changing Spelling Dictionary

    For years OS X has automatically corrected spelling using American spellings. Unfortunately that has changed in Snow Leopard (I just upgraded from Leopard) and I don't know how to switch back. It appears it has decided that I want British spellings because I am living in Australia. Not so, how do I change preferences for that so the computer corrects in Americanese?
    I did try changing the language in Language/Keyboard but when I did that it changed calendar info to American (month first, day second, then year which is confusing since most of the world uses day, month, year) but I want to have regular date info with American spellings for corrections as I type.
    ?

    how do I change preferences for that so the computer corrects in Americanese?
    Go to system preferences/language & text/language and make sure that English is at the top of the list.
    Go to system preferences/language & text/text/spelling and make sure it says US English.
    The Input Sources tab has nothing to do with spelling or dates.
    Date info is determined in system preferences/language & text/formats.

  • Safari on Windows. How does one change default spelling dictionary?

    How does one change the default spelling dictionary for Safari on Windows? For the Mac, it changes in response to the default locale, but on Windows, it just sets to American English and you cannot change it anywhere I can see. All my locale information in Windows is set to UK English.
    In fact on some websites, like this one, the spelling checker seems to be disabled! I'm on Windows 7 64-bit, BTW, running Safari 5.1.7

    I think I just found the answer (though I don't know why the interface is buried this way). Find a word that the American spell check is flagging, right click on it, select Spelling and Grammar, and then select Show Spelling and Grammar. Make sure that the language listed at the bottom says British English (not my choice of what to call it, so please don't blame the messenger).

  • How do I change my spelling dictionary?

    I have accidentally clicked on "add to dictionary" when trying to correct a few misspelled words while using firefox.
    So I went to finder/library/application support/firefox/profiles/persdict.dat
    There I found a list of the words. So I deleted the misspelled words. Clicked "save" and exited.
    However, next time I open finder and open the persdict/dat file again, those stupid words are still in there!!
    So how do I edit my "spelling word bank" that has the misspelled words? Thanks.

    Hi,
    Strange, should work. Did you close Firefox before editing the file?

  • Spelling dictionary:  where is the list of learned words?

    In MS Office all the technical words I have added to the spelling dictionary are stored in a simple text file. I now want to paste them into the Mac dictionary. Please can someone tell me if there is a text list of learned words and where it is stored.
    I will be really annoyed if I have to add each of the hundreds of words manually.
    Thanks,

    Again, I'm in Leo right now, but spent the last hour searching for it/them.. no soap.
    So I added some real long names to it, they showed up in en.
    I made a new file in Text Edit with these words...
    qwerty
    asdfgh
    zxcvbnm
    Changing one slightly to zxcvbnmkl and highlighting it in Text Edit, Right Click>Spelling & Grammer>Show Spelling & Grammer... it shows that zxcvbnmk is the proper spelling... en was not changed, as it was with the real long names!?
    zxcvbnmk does not exist in the content of any file, I have not found a Folder or File that was changed on those last three words!?
    I don't know how long of list you have, but a possible workaround...
    Load/paste them all into Text Edit, Select All>Right Click>Spelling & Grammer>Show Spelling & Grammer... Click Learn repetedly... I did a list of a hungred or so this way.
    Assuming Tiger has the same capability I'd guess.
