IWork Pages ect. spell check while typing.
When I am using Pages, or any other program if I miss spell a word it gets underlined while I am typing. How do I make the correction while typing ? In other programs that I have used you would just dbl clicking the word and pick from a list of words to correct it. Is there a way that I can set up the spell checker to do this type of correction while typing ? I have the "Check Spelling While Typing" and "Correct Spelling Automatically" checked off to work.
Thnx for any help.
Hmmm, those settings should work.
Without Pages Running, move this file to the Desktop for now...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist
Reopen Pages, set those settings again & test.

Switch off spell checking during typing permanently
Hello,
I hate it if half of the text is marked red when I am writing a text. Everytime I'm unchecking "Spell check while typing" in the Edit menu (don't know the correct english entry; its "Während der Texteingabe Prüfen" in the german version) the option is turned on again after restarting the program (e.g. TextEdit).
Is there a way to switch this option permanently?
Thanks in advance,
JensWise-***.
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...

Pages 08 - Spell check as you type has stopped working
Hi,
My Pages 08, which is ticked to 'check spelling whilst typing' is no longer checking spelling as I type.
It was working fine yesterday, but has stopped today.
Moreover, it's not even spell checking when I ask it to do it manually.
Can anyone help?
Regards,
Mont3I didn't install the British English language on my machines so I can't check the behavior of Pages when this language is the first one.
Here is the brute force way describer for the Blank template used in WP mode.
It would be the same for others.
ctrl click the Pages.app icon
show package's contents
open Contents
open Resources
open Templates
open Blank
ctrl click Blank.template
duplicate index-iso.xml.gz or index-trad.xml.gz in a safe area (folder named Pages-Blank-template ).
double click index-iso.xml.gz or index-trad.xml.gz
You will get index-iso.xml or index-trad.xml
Open it with TextEdit or TextWrangler for instance.
Search for
<sf:language><sf:null/></sf:language>
Replace all occurences by
<sf:language><sf:string sfa:string="en_GB"/></sf:language>
save index-iso.xml or index-trad.xml
for English, the replacement string would be:
<sf:language><sf:string sfa:string="en"/></sf:language>
for French it would be:
<sf:language><sf:string sfa:string="fr"/></sf:language>
for Spanish it would be:
<sf:language><sf:string sfa:string="sp"/></sf:language>
The next time you will use this template, it will default to British English everywhere.

Why does Apple charge for spell check while MS Word offers it for free?
I have been using MS Office for Mac until recently when I could not open PowerPoint files sent to me. I bought iWork '08 to remedy that and right after I installed it, Spell Catcher said my trial period was up and that I could buy it. Of course, I'm NOT going to buy it! I tried running a spell check in Pages but it did not pick up on all of my purposely misspelled words. Do I really have to PAY for spell checking? I am not impressed with iWork '08!
As a side note: Does anyone notice how difficult it is to get into Discussions recently? Is it beacause of iPhone traffic?Spell Catcher is not something that is installed with iWork as far as I am aware, I have spell check built in to Pages and keynote and I have never seen any mention of "spell catcher"

Pages 08 Spell Checker Not Working
When I started using Pages 08, I turned on the Spelling --> Check Spelling As You Type. One day it stopped to work, in fact I do not know whether it is working or not since the red lines that highlighted incorrectly-spelled text no longer appeared. I tried turning the feature on and off several times, and fiddled with Text Inspector, but have foind no solution to this. Please advise, anyone. Thanks.
Repairing Permissions did not do anything for me. I have tried various and other sundry things as found in other messages about this major issue w/ Pages, but to no avail. Spell check works fine in other apps, TextEdit for example.

Pages 08 spell checker not working after pasting in a windows document.
I am working Pages 08. I pasted a Windows document ( Microsoft word I am assuming ? ) that I saved from another email account(not safari,school based) into my Pages document. Now the spell checker will not work in the Pages document only, Works fine everywhere else. Even if I paste the Pages text into a new document the checker will not work in the document. Any suggestions /
I figured it out. The language was set to none in the inspector

Regular Expressions for textfield syntax checking while typing?
Hi all,
my application has a textfield for entering customer numbers. The customer numbers have a certain syntax which I want to have checked while the user types.
According to our company's style guide, the textfield's background color has to be
- RED in case of an error,
- WHITE in case of correct input,
- YELLOW when the input is incomplete but the beginning is correct.
To check the syntax with Regular Expressions is easy for the WHITE and RED cases. But I'm struggling with the YELLOW case.
public static boolean checkTest(String s) {
String regExp = "(\\d{6,8},\\d{1,3},\\d{1,3},\\d{1,2})";
return Pattern.matches(regExp, s);
}The above method returns true for the following examples:
"12345678,1,2,3"
"123456,11,22,33"
"1234567,123,123,12"
I now need another method which returns true if the user entered a valid beginning, for example:
"123"
"1234567,"
"123456,123,1"
Any ideas? I would be glad to get this done...@notivago
In the meantime I also came up with a pattern to
check the YELLOW case:
String partly =
"\\d{0,8},?|\\d{6,8},\\d{0,3},?|\\d{6,8},\\d{1,3},\\d{
0,3},?|\\d{6,8},\\d{1,3},\\d{1,3},\\d{0,2}";Sounds good to me.
It seems to work. But my actual goal is to do such
color-coded syntax checking for other number types
(other patterns) as well. And it should be easy to
add or change number types.I cant figure how to do that for now.
So it would be nice to have a generic way to generate
the YELLOW-pattern from the other one. Is it
possible? Probably, but I cannot come up with any idea now.
Is there a better solution than my one
("String partly" above)? Something I can just append
to the original pattern for example?There are others, but it is hard to say what would be better or worse. -
Spell Checking not automatic when typing!
Running my new IMAC - Snow Leopard ---using Pages 9 to create a new document--*spell checking while typing* in English does not work at all (i.e. does not catch obvious errors). Inspector more option set to English for the document. So what gives?
Help would be appreciated.To follow up what Yvan said I have sometimes, when adding copied text from other source in another language, had problems changes language in the Inspector.
The scenario is this. I have pasted english text into my swedish document. Change all text to english. I add more pasted text and now it can be difficult to get that part being changed to english in the Inspector, if I had all text selected in the document. What I do is I first change it to another language and then again to english. Now it works.
Right I could have just chosen to change the second pasted text but find it easier to select all text instead of the pasted text. -
New User, Spell Check?
Was a PC girl for a long time and happily made the switch over to apple recently. I understand how to use the spell check, but was wondering if there is anyway to just use your mouse and clicker to spell check, like how PC's do it, instead of going through the motions of the edit tab, then getting in... I know there is no right click on the apple, but I was wondering if there is anymore more convenient way to spell check while typing then the edit button.
Hi Jen,
Welcome to Apple Discussions and the Pages 08 forum.
Actually, if you were using Apple's Mighty Mouse you'd be able to do left clicks, right clicks and two other types of click.
On Macs with single button mice (or with trackpads which do not support left and right clicking) you can perform the equivalent of a right click by clikcking while holding down the control (or ctrl) key. A control-click in a Pages document brings up a contextual menu that includes spell check.
Check the Keyboard and Mouse pane in System Preferences. You may find that your trackpad does support right clicks. Mine does not, but mine is on a 2005 iBook, not a current MacBook.

Mac Word Crashing when saving or spell check
I just got my macbook in January. I have been having this problem since then.
Occasionally when I press command+s or optioncommnandl while in Mac Word the program shuts down entirely.
This happens EVERY time I do spell check while typing a document when the langauge has been changed to Spanish. This also occurs when the language is in English.
Can anyone help me? It is so frustrating!
Message was edited by: jgurl228i updated everything yesterday. i just got the error again when trying to spell check when the language was set to spanish. here's what the error message said:

Pages IWORK'08 spell check doesn't work--here's the fix
Pages stopped spell checking. Some suggested deleting com.apple.iwork.pages.plist off the HD in case Pages was corrupted so it could rebuild the spell check feature but that was not necessary in my case. Here is the painless fix.
-Open a pages document
-Go to Edit and SELECT ALL
-Then go to INSPECTOR text (blue T) MORE and be sure language is set to English, then close out of Inspector
-Go to EDIT, SPELLING and set “check spelling as you type” or "Check spelling"
Just remember that PAGES needs to know what you want to do so you have to SELECT ALL for it to check everything on the document.That is not sufficient if you have not also corrected your Text Styles to the appropriate language.
Text is styled with a language, usually the default, just as it is with a font or color.
Unless you update all your styles and use them, every time you reintroduce new text or use those like Free Form you will have text with either the wrong language or no language.

Today when I was typing a report in Pages the spell check mysteriously stopped working. It was working earlier but now it won't work. I checked the preferences and it was turned on. Someone help me quickly
AndrewThis is a problem that I have also had for about a year now. Generally, after I deleted com.apple.iwork.pages.plist and recreated my preferences file for Pages it went away. (See http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8287348�)
I also noticed this problem decreased after downloading the latest updates. If you haven't updated pages lately, you might also try that.

Spell check option to skip master pages
I'm still running CS3 so perhaps this has already been solved for but I need a spell check option to ignore the master pages. I'm a magazine designer and our master pages contain placeholder text so we can work our layouts before we have final copy. Problem is we can never run an effective spell check because there is no option to ignore the master pages so a spell check tries to check the lorum ipsum text rendering it useless. It would be wildy helpful if in the search dropdown option you could select "no masters" or something of the sort. Similar to the option in the Find/Change search dropdown, where you can choose "story" instead of "document"; in fact, this same functionality in Find/Change would be great as well. Also, "Story" is a good option, the whole document minus the master pages would be even better. That way we could check all of the active text in the document, including folios, rubrics and captions that are divided from the story.
Let me know if I can explain this better.Spring Step Creative wrote:
Peter,
I'm familiar with the workaround. Trouble is when you place or paste
your text in later, you have to remember to take it off of "no
language" or it will continue to ignore the text. We're dealing with
editors here, with very quick turnarounds, and the whole idea is not
to make a mistake. Just think how easy it would be to forget to turn
off "no language", run a spell check and think you're good to go to
press. ... and don't say InCopy has the solution, because its not a
useful product for us; it's cumbersome and doesn't serve us well at
all. I really think adding functionality that would allow you to
simply filter out the master pages in a spell check would be an
excellent help.
Have you tried creating customized placeholder text, something like "Replace this placeholder text with real text and tag the replacement text with such-and-such paragraph style." instead of lorem ipsum? You do this by creating a text file named "placeholder.txt" that contains your customized text, and saving it in the main InDesign directory. When you perform Type > Fill With Placeholder Text, the customized text appears with instructions.
You can create object styles for the placeholder text frames that apply the no-language paragraph style. You can make the no-language paragraph style a color, bold, etc, to call even more attention to it.
A simpler option would be to assure that all the text in your customized placeholder.text file is spelled correctly, so it doesn't get a hit when spell checking.
Being able to omit Master pages from spell checks is a good idea. Would you want it to be a scope option in the spell checker, or a property of a master page? If it were a master page property, you could specify which master pages are skipped. You can enter a formal feature request at

For spell check in CS4 besides "shift F7", is there a way to setup so that spell checks while I am typing ?
TIA
Carl,That's a bummer...
I was thinking of switching to Dreamweaver because it's Live View and limited excess tagging.
I"m rethinking that now...
I work in numerous systems that require web based editing of text (Drupal for one). These web based editors are a pain when it comes to spell checking! I type fast and some of my fingers are actually faster than others. My typical typo is a word that has all the correct letters, but with a couple letters mixed (for example, I might have an 'i' before a 't' instead of after).
I've come to rely on Word helping me to deal with this idiosyncrasy by underlining the misspellings as I've gotten used to for most other editing environments that operate locally on my PC. I'm going to have to re-think that process now... I may just stick with Web Expressions which is better about extraneous tags than Front Page was, but doesn't display the Drupal templates as I'd prefer.
I agree that DW should have the in-line spell check - it would not require any additional HTML in the code, would help the developer significantly and is basically a check-list item for most other editing environments where text is a key form of communication!
I understand there is a spell checker that can be done in batch mode - that's great. However, most of the environments where I do my editing (including many, but not all web pages through some Google add-ins) on both Mac and Windows systems have in-line spell checking... -
Still new and still learning....
I am unable to believe that the safari browser doesn't have a spell checker for typed fields like this one I'm typing in without having to reactivate.
"The Check Spelling as You Type" feature only remains active as long as Safari is open; it must be reactivated each time the browser starts.
Is there a way (or a plug in) that will work around this?
My Google tool bar took care of that (on that old evil PC I have)
ThanksWhere would I find what you have mentioned below? I'm in the process of switching from a lifetime of PC and I still get a little lost on the mac file structure
Have you tried
deleting your com.apple.Safari.plist file in your
~/Library/Preferences/ folder while Safari is not
open (then reopen Safari, select "Check Spelling as I
type", close Safari, open it again and it should
stick)?
