Insane spelling correction in Pages for Lion: "is" - "si"

Well, the new pages for Lion insists on correcting the word "is" to "si" every time I type it.
This insane behavior ceases only when I uncheck Edit>Spelling>Check Spelling as You Type.
When I go to Edit>Spelling..., enter the word "is" into the entry field and press "Guess", Pages returns a guess of "si".
When I go to Pages>Preferences> Autocorrect, there is no entry in the list of autocorrect entries for "is" or for "si".
When I go to Apple>System Preferences>Language & Text>Text, there is no entry in the list of autocorrect entries for either "is" or "si".
Under Apple>System Preferences>Language & Text>Language, my choice is US English. Spanish is not among the choices.
So I guess Pages for Lion somehow thinks that I am a Spanish speaker and is trying to help me out. Sheesh.
Apple, this system (OS X LIon) and software (iWork) release is not up to your high usual standards!!!!!

    how I can set the spelling check to other language in Papers/iPad?
    The only choices you have in the iPad itself are to change the keyboard or change the user interface language. If that doesn't do what you want, probably best ask the people who make Papers.

  • Pages for lion, pages for lion

    I have Lion 10.8.5 but I can not find Pages for that version. Any idea?

    You need to install it from an iWork 09 DVD; places such as Amazon and eBay may sell these. If you previously got a compatible iWork version from the Mac App Store and can't download it now, go to the Mac App Store homepage, click on Support under Quick Links, contact Apple, and see what they say.

  • Word ducuments in different languages/dictionaries to Pages - for Lion will need to transfer files to Pages, but how to handle texts in different languages?

    As Lion does no longer support 'Rosetta" I will need to import my WORD files. I am using several languages (E, D, F, I) and would like to also write/check the texts before sending. I have not found any way to do this in Pages. Have I overlooked something? Thanks for guidance. Gottfried

    I guess that you would get better results with libreOffice which is really designed to clone Office which is not the case for iWork.

  • Can't download Pages for Lion?

    I'm holding back on upgrading to Mountain Lion for a couple of months, as bugs are ironed out, but have decied I can't deal with MS Word anymore, so I want to get hold of Pages.
    I've tried downloading it from the app store, but it says the app is only compatible with Mountain Lion. I've searched around for an older version, but can't find one. Anyone got any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Hi Pete,
    1. I use the Adobe Suite for my work, so I want to be sure it is fully functional before I upgrade. Just waiting a little while to make sure any complaints/problems that may occur are ironed out. Nothing specific.
    2. I am currently using Lion (not Mountain Lion), so OS X 10.7.3, which puts me out of the requirements range for the App Store version of Pages. There is obviously an older version of Pages, which was compatible with Lion, I just need to find it!
    Thanks
    There are no compatability issues I see with CS4 CS5 and hearing none from CS6. All flying along here under Lion.
    Just update Lion to 10.7.4  it's a lot easier. That is the requirement for Pages in the App Store. My iWorks was working fine when I moved over to Lion 10.7 and is still working fine.
    Cheers

  • Add auto-corrections on pages for MacBook

    How can i have my MacBook write uppercase i when i type lower case?

    Here is my entry for promoting lowercase i to capital i within Pages v5. This is in System Preferences > Keyboard > Text. You must have Edit > Substitutions > Text Replacement enabled for this to work. The capital i has a trailing space.
    Pages v5 does not have auto-capitalization of the first letter of sentences. If in addition, you want this capability, you will need the third-party (Devon Technologies) WordService collection of services. This is freely available from the OS X App Store. Search for WordService. It has a service item named, "Initial Caps of Sentences." Select a sentence, or multiple paragraphs. Pages > Services > Initial Caps of Sentences will capitalize the first letter of every sentence in the selected block of text.

  • Updated to lion and updated pages for lion but won't work

    Hi all
    I updated to Lion and also updated pages app from app store but it does not work! I restart, reinstalled the app etc... but still doesn't work.
    please help!
    Thanks

    Daneil,
    Many users run into problems after moving the iWork apps from where they belong to somewhere else. I'm curious, and maybe you can help me; why would anyone do such a thing?

  • Pages "enhanced" for Lion?

    I want to know before I upgrade. In the Mac App Store Apple offers Pages as "enhanced" for Lion at a price.  If I upgrade to Lion and want to continue using Pages, do I have to buy the enhanced version of Pages? Didn't Apple update Pages for Lion?

    I think I know what you are asking, and my answer will be the same as Peter's. The advertising for Pages in the Mac App Store can be confusing. Many of us have thought that the version there is an upgrade. It is actually the same as the Pages in iWork 09, but arranged differently such that it can be purchased separately from KN and Numbers.
    So you can update Pages with Software Update at, no charge and when you purchase Lion, you're ready to go.

  • Pages on Lion and iCloud

    I just bought Pages for Lion - I already had it for the iPad and iPhone. How can I see my documents (which are in the iCloud) on my Mac mini now? I cannot find them! All is fine between iPad and iPhone.

    The desktop/Mac OS X versions of the iWork apps have not been updated to take advantage of iCloud yet. In the meantime you can go to iCloud.com, sign in & click the iWork icon where you can upload & download files. You could also try e-mail or Dropbox. Hopefully we will see those updates, maybe even a whole new version of iWork, soon.

  • "enhanced for Lion?"

    I have Pages on my iMac. I will upgrade to Lion soon. The App Store says Pages is available as Enhanced for Lion ($9.99). Do I have to pay again to keep Pages for Lion or won't the app update itself for Lion as usual? I want to know before I upgrade. Thanks.

    If you don't get an answer here, you might post in the Pages discussion at https://discussions.apple.com/community/iwork/pages

  • Does pages on ipad support german spelling/correction ?

    appstore tells me that pages now supports german, french....
    does pages on ipad support german spelling/correction?
    and yes, my english is a bit crappy
    best regards

    I can't check this the moment, but normally spelling correction is determined by the keyboard layout you are using, rather than the localization of the app. So you should be able to get german spelling correction even if Pages is running in English.

  • I cannot get pages from iWork's to share.  Do I need a new version of pages for Mountain Lion?

    I cannot get pages from iworks to share on Mountain Lion.  Do I need a new version of pages for Mountain Lion instead of iworks?

    You need Pages 09 (Version 4) to take advantage of Mountain Lion's iCloud features. You don't say what version you have.

    Hi! Can i add greek spelling check for Pages for  ipad mini retina?

    No.  Toi ask Apple to add this, go to

    But perhaps there is a 3rd party keyboard which has something -- search the app store.

  • Bash update for Lion install correctly?

    I can't tell if the Bash update for Lion installed correctly.  It shows up twice on my desktop and is under devices in finder. It went though all the questions, agreeing and where to install.  I have a Mac mini from early 2009. Running 10.7.5 version of Lion.

    There should be an icon on the Desktop that looks like an external hard drive and is named "bash Update" or something like that. Drag it to the Trash. If you don't see it there, look in the sidebar of a Finder window under DEVICES and click the eject icon. Then look in the Downloads folder for a file with a similar name and drag it to the Trash.
