I want to disengage the spell or word suggester whenever the curser hangs over a word

When the curser is moved around the page and stops close to a word, a box appears with a multilanguage list of suggestions for that word. I want to disengage this facility

  • How can you turn off the spell checker in Firefox? (The menu option doesn't work.)

    There was a solution to this I came across a long time ago, but I don't remember what it was. I want to turn off my spell checker in Firefox. The usual instructions given for doing this are to go into Options->Advanced and de-select "Check my spelling as I type". This doesn't work. Period. And this is a bug that has been around for a long time in Firefox.
    What's a way to disable this? I don't like seeing a bunch of red lines under correctly spelled words that just happen to not be in Firefox's default dictionary, and I don't want to have to add things to my dictionary either.

    Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.

  • All of our iOS devices are displaying the message that they can't connect to the Internet.  All show good wifi connections.  Our Macs all connect to the internet just fine suggesting that the network is good.  I'm stumped.

    Airport Utility on the Macs show good internet signals but on our two iPads and my iPhone 5 there are no indications of internet connectivity.  One of the iPads is running iOS 7 but the other is still running iOS 6.  The iPhone 5 is updated to iOS 7. 
    Is there a setting switch that if set incorrectly would create this problem?  Like I said before, all the iOS devices stopped internet connectivity at the same time. 
    Update:  Well while I was typing this I was called away to help get people to bed etc.  And when I got back I tried all four iOS devices and, now, they all connect to the internet.  I don't understand it.  Two iPhones, different iOS versions, and two iPads, different generations and also different iOS versions, all decided that they would disconnect themselves from the internet but stay connected to the wifi network.  Somebody must have an explanation for what just happened.  Remember it isn't the router because the Macs all had uninterrupted internet connections.  Weird!

    I used to have a satellite connection to the internet. When ever the power went off I was told to turn on the devices in a specific order for them to work properly.
    Try shutting off every device including all iPads, iPhones, computer, Wi-Fi router and Satellite modem. Then turn them on one at a time in the order listed below. Be sure to wait until each device completes its start up routine before starting up the next item. When my satellite modem was restarted it often had to download an update. The time this took varied with the update. So be sure the Satellite modem is up and connected to the Satellite before going to the next device.
    1. Satellite Modem.
    2. Wi-Fi Router
    3. Your computer. Check to see that your computer connects to the internet.
    4. iPad or iPhone and remaining devices one at a time.

  • Why doesn't Thunderbird underline misspelled words so that the spell checker can suggest alternatives?

    I can't activate spell checker because there are no misspelled words underlined, when I know that there are.

    To enable underlining of incorrectly spelt words as you type:
    'Tools' > 'Options' > 'Composition' > 'Spelling' tab
    or
    'Menu icon' > 'Options' > 'Options' > 'Composition' > 'Spelling' tab
    select : 'Enable spell check as you type'
    click on OK
    However, you do not have to have this enabled in order to use Spellcheck.
    Click on 'Spelling' in the toolbar, it will open a small window offering potential spelling corrections for mispelt words.

  • "The File Format is Invalid" whenever I try to open a Word File

    Pages 3.0.2 consistently returns the 'format invalid' error when I try to open .doc files. These are mostly of kind Microsoft Word 97-2004. I get the same result whether I try to open the file from within Pages or drag the file to the dock icon (running or not) or even if I change the file properties to open it with pages. Opening a .doc file in TextEdit yields only gibberish, so that avenue is not open either.
    This is a new MacBook Air I'm setting up for my wife who wanted something lighter for the road, which required over a Gigabyte of upgrades right out of the box. At least Pages will run, unlike Word for Mac 2008, which after an upgrade aimed to fix an issue where Word quits 'unexpectedly' when one opens or uses the program still fails to start up. This means that I have no chance to re-save files until my wife returns with her old iBook G4 with a functioning copy of Word 2004.
    Short of installing OpenOffice* does anyone have any suggestions for 'unlocking the functionality' of Pages?
    *Next on my list, though I've used it and find it emulates Word all too well in sluggishness.
    Thanks.

  • How to default the spell checker to Britain?

    when I set language in pages to spell check in English Britain and close a document and re-open another blank document the spell checker reverts back to the English setting(US). Is there a way to save the changes I make in inspector so that I can set to a default setting of Britain?.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Go to System Preferences > International > Language & drag British English to the top. You may need to log out & back in for it to take effect.

  • 6280 word suggestions

    I don't get the menu for predictive text word suggestions that the user guide says i should. I can set predictive but not word suggestions. also, if i want to save a word in the dictionary i have to spell it, save it, then type it again within the same text before it will be added to the dictionary for the future.

    i think this was discussed heavily a few months ago.
    if memory serves, it is an issue with the firmware. some networks made a mistake i think, so some have it and some dont.
    do a search on here, should provide the correct info

  • Predictive text (normal vs word suggestions)

    Using a 3120classic I've selected Predictive Text - Word Suggestions.
    On my previous (non Nokia) device with predictive, when I started entering a long word like 'yesterday' after a few characters it would autocomplete the whole word. I thought that's what choosing Word Suggestions would do but it doesn't seem to.
    Is this sort of feature available?

    Which Nokia phone will give me word suggestion? I don''t particularly want a very sophisticated phone with camera, internet etc. All I want is to speak and text, but with word suggestion, completing the words for me,  not only the basic predictive text. Can someone please suggest a phone that actually does that instead of only claiming to do it? (And what's the law on misleading claims? W.S. is listed in the functions!)

  • Either there is no default mail client of the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request-----error Outlook 2010

    I've tried EVERYTHING suggested in this link (http://blog.timolthof.com/outlook-no-default-mail-client-error/) and everything google and bing and still this message keeps popping up.  Now when I do a windows search for email, I'm not able to view
    the email due to this message.
    For the record, I am running W7 Ultimate x64 and connected via Excange Server.  I do have another system that is running Office 2010 with none of these problems so I don't know if it's related to Exchange though the searches I've done don't allude
    to that.
    What's up?

    Hi,
    I understand that when you tried to open Outlook 2010 beta on the Windows 7 64-bit computer, you encountered the following error:
    "Either there is not default mail client of the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Outlook and
    set it as the default mail client."
    You have checked the settings under the registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Clients\Mail\Microsoft Outlook
    I understand the inconvenience you have encountered and appreciate the time and effort you spent on this issue. Please be assured that I
    will try my best to help you.
    Now let’s troubleshoot the issue by the suggestions below. Please check the results after each suggestion until the problem is resolved.
    Suggestion 1: manually set Outlook 2010 as the default e-mail client on Windows 7:
    ===================
    1.      
    Click Start.
    2.      
    Type "default programs" in the
    Search box.
    3.      
    Click Default Programs under
    Programs in the search results.
    4.      
    Now click Set your default programs.
    5.      
    Highlight Microsoft Outlook on the left.
    6.      
    Click Set this program as default.
    7.      
    Click OK.
    Suggestion 2: Start the Outlook program in safe mode
    ==============
    1.      
    Click Start, point to All Programs, and then point to
    Microsoft Office.
    2.      
     Press and hold the CTRL key, and then click the Outlook program you want to start.
    If the problem does not occur in the safe mode, this issue might be related to some third-party add-ins in the Outlook program, we can try
    to disable them. Normally, you could do the following to disable the conflict add-ins in your Outlook program:
    Disable add-ins
    Click
    File menu, click Options > 
    Add-in, click Go button in the Manage:
    Com-in Add.
    Check if there are any add-ins,
    clear the checkbox to disable them.
    Close the Office program and
    restart it.
    Add one check back each time to the list of Add-In,
    restart the Office program, and repeat the above procedure. Once the issue reappears again, we can determine which add-in causes this problem and then disable it.
    Suggestion 3: Test the issue with a new Windows user account
    ==============
    We can follow the steps in the articles to create a new user account to test the issue. If the problem does not occur in the new user account, some settings
    in the old account are corrupted. We can copy the main user files from the old account to the new account, delete the old account, and then continue using the new account.
    For the detailed steps on how to create a new user account and copy data from the old account to the new account, you can refer to the following articles:
    For Windows Vista/Windows 7:
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Create-a-user-account
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile
    Please take your time to try the suggestions and let me know the results at your earliest convenience. . If anything is unclear or if there
    is anything I can do for you, please feel free to let me know.

  • The Pages Full Screen option is the iPad screen!

    I haven't heard anyone mention this, but I think Apple did something very smart with the last iteration of Pages as a set up to Pages for iPad.
    For those of us who dream of having a writing station as small and light as the iPad, the real question is: Can this really work as an alternative to a laptop? Well, here are three ways Apple has already groomed us for this transition:
    1. They added a keyboard dock, which of course makes real, lengthy writing sessions possible.
    2. They put a version of Pages on the iPad.
    3. Third, the Pages Full Screen mode on your current computer (if a laptop) looks an awful lot like the iPad screen. When I take my MacBook into Full Screen, the dimensions of the writing screen are almost identical to what I would have on an iPad. In other words, I am already typing on that narrow screen!
    What do you think? [Sure, this isn't really a problem-solving question, but this is a discussion forum, no?]

    The question is whether the iPad screen is built to US Quarto (used by 5% of the planet) or to the International standard A4.
    The proportions seem to suggest that the design is USA only.

  • Word suggestions not available in Maps Drive+

    When I type in a location in Maps I get suggestions (street names, etc.) come up on the screen after typing in only a few letters and I can then select these suggestions to search.
    Why isn't this feature in Drive+?
    In Drive+ I have to type in the whole word and even suburb; if I'm one letter wrong it won't be found in the search; at least with 'word suggestions' I can quickly select a search word with less chance of error.
    If it's not possible to switch word suggestions on in Drive+; I'd like to suggest this as an upgrade.
    s
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The keyboard is without word suggestions in Drive+ but it displays a list of possible destinations under the search input field similar to Maps (although not identical) on my Lumia - after entering three or more letters, if it is online?

  • The file may be corrupt. The file header checksum does not match the computed checksum.

    I just put Vista Home Premium on a computer I was going to give to my son. Upon adding some hardware I kept getting the above screen. "The file may be corrupt. The file header checksum does not match the computed checksum.' When I booted in safe mode and slow boot, it hung on crcdisk.sys. I removed everything except the keyboard hhd dvd and fdd and it still does the same thing. I tried to reinstall Vista but it keeps hanging. From reading a lot of other threads this seems to be a big problem. I doubt if the product should have been marketed. But.... If anyone can help me get it booted I would like to try XP instead. I tried to install XP on the same drive and it hungs there too.

    Hi ballen6721,
    Thank you for the post.
    This issue can occur if the newly installed hardware device is incompatible with the system.
    Based on the current situation, I suggest trying the following steps to troubleshoot the issue:
    Method 1 Device Clean Boot
    ============================================
    Please unplug all unnecessary devices such as sound card, printer, network card and TV card.
    Method 2: Startup Repair from the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE)
    ============================================
    1. Insert the Windows Vista installation disc into the disc drive, and then start the computer.
    2. Press a key when the message indicating "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD …". appears.
    3. Select a language, a time and currency, and a keyboard or input method, and then click Next.
    4. Click Repair your computer.
    5. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, choose the drive of your Windows installation and click Next.
    6. At the System Recovery Options Dialog Box, click on Repair your computer.
    7. Click the operating system that you want to repair, and then click Next.
    8. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click Startup Repair.
    Method 3: Use the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) to run System Restore ============================================
    1. Insert the Windows Vista installation disc into the disc drive, and then start the computer.
    2. Press a key when the message indicating "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD …". appears.
    3. Select a language, a time and currency, and a keyboard or input method, and then click Next.
    4. Click Repair your computer.
    5. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, choose the drive of your Windows installation and click Next
    6. At the System Recovery Options Dialog Box, click on System Restore.
    7. Follow the System Restore Wizard instruction and choose the appropriate restore point.
    8. Click Finish to restore the system.
    Note: If you computer is an OEM one, the method to enter WinRE can be different, you may contact your OEM to consult how to enter WinRE.
    Can we start the computer now?
    If the issue persists, please help confirm the following points:
    1. What hardware changes have you made recently?
    2. Can we enter Safe Mode now?
    I look forward to hearing from you.
    Best regards,

  • How can I Append the same (altered) web page to the same Acrobat 9 Pro PDF file more than once

    The Acrobat 9 Pro utility in IE 8 of the Windows 7 Pro OS has a selection to "Append to Existing PDF," however it only allows appending the same web page one time only.  if the majoriety of the page data content is changed by selecting list item at the top of the page, I need to (re-)add the page with new content to the same (selected) PDF file, however the utilitiy does not allow this due to its maintaining a special index of each page base on the page URL or name.  Can the this index or the page itself be changed whenever the page is altered to make Acrobat think it is a new page? 

    I don't use IE, but I would suspect you can clear the cache or such to reset this option. You could also just open the web site directly in Acrobat and play the game there.
