Issue with spell-check and hyphenated words

Ok, this one's got me stumped. If I type in confidnce-blder as a word, Pages only sees the second word as mispelled; it ignores the first word.
Any one seen this and have a solution?

Ok, it turns out it does not find it during the "check spelling while I type" but it does find it if I force a spell-check.

How to create a text area with spell check and other functions similar to word?

I want to allow users the ability to copy and paste their content on to the site. The problem is giving them the option to use spell check and other word like features to my site. My goal is to develop some thing similar to how we post our question in this forums.

Some old and some new.

You realize you'll need to use server-side scripts and a database for this. Instead of re-inventing the wheel, you might just want to install WordPress, Drupal or Joomla on your site.

Restoring one system-wide dictionary (issue with spell checking)

Hello all,
For some reason, spell checking is behaving badly: it won't spell check German correctly anymore, even though it is set on “Multilingual”. English is alright, so I suspect my German dictionary got corrupt.
My questions are:
1- Will installing the 10.5.7 update resolve the issue?
2- Where can I find the system-wide dictionaries used for spell-checking by OS X?
3- Where can I download these dictionaries?
I hope a clean install is not required just to get one dictionary/spellcheck file back…
Thanks very much all!

it won't spell check German correctly anymore, even though it is set on “Multilingual”.
How about when you set it to Deutsch?
2- Where can I find the system-wide dictionaries used for spell-checking by OS X?
3- Where can I download these dictionaries?
You can't find them or download them.
I hope a clean install is not required just to get one dictionary/spellcheck file back…
Maybe. You could also install CocoAspell and add a German dictionary from its selection.

Pages spell check and Mac dictionary

I find it annoying that Pages' spell-check is not synchronized with Mac Dictionary/Thesaurus. There are words I type that are shown as misspelled, but exist in the Dictionary program. Why not sync the two? It's annoying how many legitimate words Pages thinks are misspelled.

bk,
Welcome to Apple discussions.
I completely agree. OS X's dictionary and thesaurus are excellent, and it would be nice to have them integrated into Pages spell-check and learned words functions.
Please leave feedback for the Pages team.

Spell check and word suggestion doesn't work Droid 4

My wife and I both have Motorola Droid 4s. I have had mine for almost a year, and she has had hers just a week. After I factory reset mine to fix a spell check problem, I noticed that the spell check still doesn't automatically fix errors, and there is no word suggestion. Her's is doing the same thing. When I looked for this issue online, I found numerous other Motorola Droid 4 owners having the same problem.
Since we text a LOT, this is certainly a major inconvenience. We would like to know if there is a fix for this issue, is it OS version and phone specific, and when an update/fix can be expected.
Thank you for your time!

The settings you gave me are the same as I and my wife have set except for the keyboard and input methods. For us, android is checked but disabled (gray), moto chinese input is checked, and swype is checked but disabled and gray. Same as it was when spell check and suggestions didn't work. Now ours is working but what is really interesting is that we never changed anything since it wasn't working. We just woke up the day after posting this and it was working. Hmm. I left the moto chinese checked because why tempt fate?
Thank you for your reply and information. That fact is, my spell check worked for a year and then suddenly it did not. My wife's didn't even out of the box, then the day after I post, ours works perfect. Coincidence? Who cares. =)

Spell check for microsoft word and excel not working?

Hi all,
I seem to have a problem of spell check for micrsoft word / excel not working. It all stemed with me deleting microsoft office from my computer, after thinking it was playing havoc on my system, (making it slower and sending a strange attachment with some emails) but after one week I relaised i needed it, i tried loading it again, but now the spell check doesnt seem to work?
also if any one can tell me, regarding my strange attachment. i was told today that "ATT00034" is sent because it contains font information that is not supported to the people i send it to? im not sure?
thanks to all

Since Office is not an Apple product, you'll probably want to use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://www.microsoft.com/mac/community/community.aspx?pid=newsgroups> rather than an Apple forum
Be sure to search the forum first in case someone has already had a similar question answered.

My itunes account shuts down for no reason. It wont recognize my iphone and there is an issue with network connectivity and itunes. I have already reinstalled itunes and did a syste restore on my computer, firewall checked and virus scan done. Ideas??

My itunes account on windows xp shuts down for no reason. If even try to delete something from my library it shuts down. It wont recognize my iphone and there is an issue with network connectivity and I can't connect to the store. I have already reinstalled itunes and did a system restore on my computer, firewall has been checked, itunes is ok on firewall and virus scan done. Ideas??

Same problem. I can see the itunes store so not a problem with windows firewall. The account is active on my iphone so i know i am not locked out. I can connect the PC to my iphone so i know itunes is working ok. It is just logging into itunes on this pc which doesn't work. Only thing I can think of is that the email address I use for my apple id has been offline for a while and is working again now, I'm wondering whether this has been the case for others who are having this issue?

Problem with spell checker - microsoft word is better in this respect

First, I love Pages, I find it better than Word and will continue to use it. Second, I love the spell checker, and I keep it on as I'm typing. I don't want to change this, except for one small feature that Word does and Pages does not.
When I'm typing a sentence, there are many occasions when I type a word that Pages doesn't have in the dictionary, and thus it changes it to what it thinks I want to type. For example, I typed "Lindberg" and it changed it to "Lundburgh" which I didn't want to happen. Of course, this happens to other words that are not proper nouns.
In Word, if I'm typing a sentence such as "And then Lindberg..." and Word changes it to "Lundburgh," if I simply delete back and re-write "Lindberg" and continue on, Word by default will NOT auto-correct again, and I can continue typing freely.
In Pages, however, if I do the above Pages continues to auto-correct. You must right click and "Ignore" or "Learn" spelling, and that slows me down big time.
So, I think Pages should do this one thing that Word does, and I'll be a happy camper.

So, I think Pages should do this

CS6 Spell Check flags every word.

Hello,
My ID has recently started flagging every word when doing spell check. I uninstalled and reinstalled but it's still doing it. I have tried turning on and off preferences and selecting different vendor dictionaries but no luck. I have no clue how to create a new dictionary or to select a different one. If I try to "relink" the current one everything is grayed out. Please help! I'm spending so much time trying to research this and getting nowhere! Thanks!

This is a common point of confusion for many users (including me for a few years). The Dictionary settings in your presfs have nothing to do with spell checking directly. What they are is a means for you to choose which dictionary to use for each language, if more than one dictionary happens to be installed for that language. that dictionary is then used to decide if words are spelled correctly and to set hyphenation rules, but the language is actually set at the character level, as Manish mentioned above.
ID looks at the language assigned to the text, then uses the dictionary assigned by your prefs to do the checking. If the assigned language doesn't match the actual language, most words will inevitably be considered misspelled. If you, for example have an English localized version of ID, but mostly type in French, you probably would want to set French as the default language. To do that you would set it from the language dropdown in either the Character or Control panel with no files open, and it will be effective for all new work.
Existing files are more of a problem. You can reset the default for each document in the same way, but exiting text will retain whatever language is currently assigned, whether is it is correct or not. You can use Find/Change to reassign any language you like to the entire document on a language-by-language basis by choosing the language that is mis-assigned in the Advanced Character Formatting section for the Find Format settings and then choosing the correct language in the Change Formatting section. For that you don't need to enter anything at all in either the find or change fileds in the dialog. Te assign a single language to all the text in a file, regardless of how many languages may be in use, enter .+ in the GREP find field, then set the language of your choice in the change Formatting as above. As long as something is entered into the Change Formatting section, you can leave the change field itself blank. Although the text won't change when you reassign a language, if may reflow. This is due to different hyphenation rules among the various languages.
Though we often suggest replacing preferences here when things misbehave, this is one situation where it may actually make things worse. If you set a custom language different from your localization, resetting the prefs would remove that special language and you'll have to re-enter it manually.

Spell Check and Ellipsis

I'm writing out a story on Dreamweaver, and I am frequently writing dialogue with ellipses (those triple periods indicating a pause) mid-sentence. I've been taught by multiple sources on grammar that an ellipsis at the end of the sentence is followed by a space, whereas one in the middle of the sentence is not. However, Dreamweaver's spell check seems to have issue with ellipses that have no spaces between them and the words before and after them.
It almost seems to disregard the ellipsis entirely and mistakenly see the two words it's written between as one jumbled word. I have to hit ignore every time it brings an instance up while checking my spelling. Does anyone know what causes this in Dreamweaver's spell check, and is there any way to work around it so I don't have to keep telling it to ignore every instance?

Ben has your solution.
In order to type an ellipsis on my Mac, I just hold down the [option] button and press ";" and I get an ellipsis. But not on a website. In many cases, the character that comes up on some browsers is a black diamond (actually the color is whatever you are using in your style sheet for the font color) with a question mark in it.
This is to say, don't use an ellipsis character. Use the HTML code for the character, which will be rendered properly in all browsers. The code for an ellipsis is … or … which must be entered in your Code View.
Now, what you could do is type an ellipsis character and do Dreamweaver's Find and Replace to correctly replace the character with the code. Make sure that Find is searching for Source Code.
I don't use spell check in Dreamweaver. I keep a TextEdit or Notepad application open for words I'm not sure about and check spelling outside of the application. Dreamweaver CS3 did not have spell check and so I have retained that workflow for my documents.

To the spell checker the word is wrong. It could be the word is right to the OP in this document but not in the next. Why should Pages learn the word?
It's not Pages which learn the document, it's the spell checker.
I wish I could help the OP. Pages on his machine isn't working as it should. Ignore option should take of the red line.
So, my machine is odd too.
When I click ignore, the spell checker no longer halt on the word but it continue to underline it.
As the OP didn't gave a sample we don't know what is the exact problem.
If he want to leave a misspelling in the doc, 'learn' is not a good soluce.
If he want to add a word to the list of allowed words, 'learn' is the soluce.

RH7 - Spell Checker and Smart Index Wizard looking in all folders?

Hi all,
RE: RH7 - Spell Checker and the Smart Index Wizard looking in all folders instead of just TOC topics?
While running the Spell Checker and the Smart Index Wizard I am getting the impression they are looking in *all* the folders under the Project Files folder, and not just the topics I have chosen to insert into my TOC. Is this true? If so, is it possible to set RH so that it only looks in TOC topics?
TIA
- avraham

Hi Peter -
Thanks for your reply. Yes, the pop-up topics are in the same
folders as the other topics and I am choosing "Any Status" (right
now all of the topics in the project are the same status anyway).
What's even stranger is that after I posted my original
message, I found that it picked up about five of my 100 or so
pop-up topics, yet ignored the rest. I cannot find ANYTHING about
these included topics that differs from the ignored topics.
Bizarre.
Since I need to move forward ASAP, I am now going through
each pop-up topic individually and using the Smart Index option on
the Topic Properties Index tab. It works just fine; is just
time-consuming, but actually may end up saving me time on the Index
in the long-run, since I can define which keywords Robo adds to
each topic on the front-end (not have to prune out worthless
entries later).
My guess is that this issue may have to do with the
conversion of the files from RH 5 to RH 6. It shouldn't - all of
the pop-up topics were added after I converted to RH 6, but I've
noticed odd things can happen when you bring a project into a newer
version of the program.
Thanks again, Peter.
I don't have an answer but I have a workaround that
I can live with!

Issues with Exchange Account and Q10

Well, I hate to be writing this, but I'm hoping that there might be someone out there that can help get past some first day issues I am experiencing.
The background: I have a long history with legacy BlackBerry devices, and almost as much history with iOS devices. My most recent phone was an iPhone 4S, and I make extensive use of iCloud to keep my iMacs, iPhone, and iPad connected in real-time. The setup worked. It wasn't perfect, but it worked. However, because I used to have a BlackBerry device (most recent the 9930) and because I don't use the iPhone for more than e-mail, iMessage, and phone calls (generally speaking), I decided to give the newest BlackBerry device a shot. So I bought a Q10.
At this point I feel compelled to say that the hardware is everything I had hoped it to be. It's solid, has a good weight, and appears to be made very well. I have no complaints with the hardware, including the keyboard (a big selling factor for me), so I won't really get into the hardware as the issues I am experiencing all have to do with the OS. Let me also say that I am very familiar with the iCloud integration issues (missing Contact photos and disabled Calendar sync), so I'm not voicing a complaint over those issues in this thread.
I have connected my Exchange account. I used to have everything in Exchange before I moved my entire computing world over to Apple, and now I keep Exchange around for e-mail. Therefore, I have no contacts, no tasks, no notes, very limited calendar entries, and a massive amount of e-mail on the Exchange server. However, to test everything out, I have added a single contact record so I can see it show up on the phone and be able to test two-way sync between the Q10 and Exchange. And here is where the first issues crop up. It looks like Exchange connects and then disconnects at random. For example, if I open my Contacts on the phone, I see the one contact (called John Doe). Then, as the phone is sitting there with the screen on, the contact will disappear and I will see a "Start adding contact to your contact list" notice on the screen. Then, after a short period of time, the single contact will return. It is important to note that the entire time this is happening, the All Contacts option is selected in the list so that all available contacts are shown. Additionally, I have SIM card contacts turned off, but if I alter the selection in the view list (All Contacts, Favorites, etc.), the SIM contacts will re-appear when I return to the All Contacts view. At the same time, even though I have turned off SIM Contacts in the settings, the setting has reverted to show SIM Contacts. If I turn off the setting again, SIM Contacts still show up. Possibly related: I can't delete contacts on the SIM card, no matter how many times I try, and it now it seems that I can't get SIM Contacts to go away in the Contacts app.
Likewise, Exchange seems to connect and disconnect from Calendar. I go to the calendar and move day by day to June 15th. I see an entry that I know is from Exchange (I have no other connected calendars at this time), and it is in blue. I change the calendar color to green and the entry changes color, as expected. However, if I jump back to today and then scroll day by day to get to June 15th again, the calendar entry is missing. After a few seconds, the entry re-appears, but it is, once again, in blue. The setting has reverted itself, and it seems like Exchange is completely disconnecting and automatically reconnecting to the phone like I am setting it up again for the first time. Very odd. As I'm typing this, I just saw something odd. I swiped to wake up the phone, and the active frames screen was the visible screen. The calendar app is still running (since I left it running, minimized, when the phone went to sleep) and the date shown in the active card was Jan 1, not Jun 8. Why? The date (and time) on the phone is correct and is set automatically by the cellular system.
Nevertheless, looking at BlackBerry Hub, I see only two e-mails in my Inbox from Exchange, even though I have roughly a dozen in my Inbox. The rest are filed in sub-folders. And bam! Just like that... I get the "Add Accounts" screen while looking at the Hub. In other words, as I was typing this, I first saw two Exchange e-mails and then, out of nowhere, the e-mails disappear and I see the "Add Accounts" screen as if no account has been connected.
So... first question: Is anyone else experiencing this issue? This is very strange, and very frustrating. Second: could this be related to the large amount of e-mails I have stored on Exchange, some of which have large attachments? I selected "Forever" as the sync history length. I have my concerns, however, if this is related to loading historical e-mails onto the phone (in other words, the first sync with Exchange) because there is no reason that I can understand that the phone would blank out as if no account was connected at all. I can understand lag and stuttering while the history is syncing, but not a complete disconnect and reconnect. Considering all of the issues with the one and only contact record disappearing, the calendar entry for Jun 15th disappearing and then reappearing with the wrong calendar color, and e-mail in my Inbox incomplete (two of a dozen e-mails) and ultimately disappearing, I feel like this OS just has some real, significant issues.
Full disclosure: I do want iCloud to work and am a fan of Apple products, but the lack of full iCloud sync support is not a big enough issue for me to want to send back this phone and/or see it fail so miserably. I will happily move my info from iCloud into Exchange, Google, and/or set up a new Exchange account for personal use (Office 365) because I am not wedded to iCloud per se. But, I won't go through that trouble if I can't even get my first account to work properly. It should also be noted that I do have a basic Google account (non-paid) and I had previously attempted to connect to it. However, I was experiencing the exact same issues with contacts disappearing, e-mail disappearing, etc. So I deleted that account. Truth be told, I deleted the Exchange account as well, and then re-connected to Exchange only to test one account at a time. Unfortunately, even with Exchange only, I am seeing very strange and frustrating behavior as described above.
Help... please. I want this to work but the frustration I am feeling is growing worse by the hour.
Model: SQN100-2
OS Release: 10.1.0.2011

To follow-up with this issue:
I ended up performing a security wipe on my device. The security wipe finished, and I was about to reconnect with Exchange when I decided to visit our host's web site to see if they had any articles covering the issues I was experiencing. While they didn't have anything specific, I did find a step-by-step guide to connecting a BB10 device to Exchange... and right there at the end, it said "Do NOT enable memo sync."
I contacted support, and the rep told me that OS 10 has an issue with memo sync and it can cause all sorts of unpredictable behavior. Now, whether or not this is accurate I can say this: So far, the device is not disconnecting and reconnecting like it was before. Problem is, is this a result of not enabling memo sync, or is this a result of the security wipe?
I may have overlooked it, but I don't recall reading anything about that anywhere else. I'm tempted to try re-enabling the memo sync to see if everything blows up again. At least that way I can see for myself if the memo sync is a real issue. Of course, perhaps it's an issue with SherWeb (our host) specifically. Hm...
Anyway, for those that were interested, and for those that may come along in the future with a similar situation, the strange behavior that I first reported is no longer happening. I just don't know if it was a result of a security wipe or a result of not enabling memo sync with Exchange.

Does the 932C HP printer with 2 sided printing accessory work with window 7 and office word 2010?

(model#C6463A-double side, printing accessory), for the HP 923C printer? Is it real slow printing? Does it flip by itself or do I have to flip it? Also will the printer with the accessory work with windows 7 and office word 2010 to type 4 pages per sheet, like a book? Thanks and please help me!
