My doc is telling me every word is misspelled and not in the dictionary

I have my pages set to spell check as I compose. 90% of the words are underlined in red. I have looked to see if the application is checked to a different language, but cannot find where such an option would be. When I run spell check it tells me the words are not found in the dictionary. I am guessing I need to change a setting somewhere - but cannot find where.

Do you write in the same language as the computer is set to? Have you in System preferences > Language and text set that language at the top in the white field to the left?

  • A small but very irritating bug in Mail: after pressing the spacebar after typing an apostrophe in a word such as "we're", the cursor moves to the left i.e. backwards, and not to the right, effectively deleting a space and not creating one.

    When composing an email in Mac Mail I've noticed a small but very irritating bug: pressing the spacebar after typing an apostrophe in a word, e.g. "we're", the cursor moves to the left i.e. backwards, and not to the right, effectively deleting a space and not creating one.
    Any ideas?

    I just recreated this problem on my iMac (wired KB, no wireless KB) by changing Mail > Preferences > Composing > Spellcheck from "as I type" to "never". Then type a contraction ending in 're and the space bar causes the cursor to jump back as others have stated, to the spot 'r|e
    Next, I went into System Preferences > Keyboard > Text, and turned off "use smart quotes" and the problem went away again.
    From this point (smart quotes off, spell checking never), if I turn Smart Quotes ON, the problem returns.
    The problem is dependent on the state of both settings.
    The spacebar in Mail "works" if I have either of the following setting combinations:
    Keyboard: smart quotes OFF, Mail: check spelling ANY SETTING
    Keyboard: smart quotes ON, Mail: check spelling AS I TYPE
    Other combinations FAIL
    Keyboard: smart quotes ON, Mail: Check spelling NEVER
    Keyboard: smart quotes ON, Mail: Check Spelling WHEN I CLICK SEND
    Looks to me like there's a bug in Mail > Preferences > Check spelling > NEVER and WHEN I CLICK SEND that interacts badly with Keyboard > Smart quotes ON.
    Thanks.

  • Use PS to convert .doc to .docx and not have the compatibility mode issue

    Awesome I will bookmark that site. Thank you!

    I am looking for a power shell script to convert .doc file to .docx in word 2013 and also make the compatibility mode go away. So the user only has to open it and has no issues with compatibility.  I have found a couple but still have the compatibility mode when opening.

  • How can i read every"number" value and not only the 1st?

    in the vi only the first "number" value(from the data acquisition)is read in the small loop.how can i make every value to be read?every value must be compared with the "numeric" constant,and,if greater the led must turn on.afterwards,when a value which is less than the "numeric" is found the led must turn off.please answer or send mail to [email protected]

    The more I look at your program, the less I understand it.
    Why are you setting number = number in a case if SO2 = ""? number always equals number.
    In your sequence frames 1 and 4, you have no control over which write (date or time) happens first. Just placing one function to the left of another doesn't make it happen first if your wiring doesn't create data dependency. Review the section on Data Dependency in chapter 5 of the LabView User's Manual.
    It looks you're writing to and reading from the same file using Write File and Read Lines from File.vi. Why read back data you just wrote? You have the data on your diagram. If you want to convert it from string to numeric, use a Sring/Number Conversion function from the String palette.
    On Read Lines from File.vi (which I'm not sure you even need), you should use a shift register for the start of read offset rather than a local variable for mark after read (chars.). With a shift register, you can initialize it to 0 when the VI starts. Using a local, if you restart the VI, it will try to startup from where you left off the last time, but you just opened the file for create or replace.
    In your sequence frames 2 and 3, why do you wait for the number to be less than the numeric before writing a carriage return to the file? Also, LabView has a End of Line constant which adapts to the expected value for the operating system. That's generally more flexible than a Carriage Return.
    It looks to me like you're overusing control refnums. You don't need to use a control refnum and a property node to set or read a control's value if you can wire directly to the control's terminal.
    I really don't understand what you're doing with pause and variants. I may be missing the point, but it looks like you made this much more complicated than it needs to be. Why not keep it a boolean?
    For your pause-path, you open the file but never close it. You can lose data that way. You also open it using open function 3, create new file. You'll get an error if the file already exists.
    On a general note, your diagram would be easier to read if you were more selective in how you routed your wires: you have wires on top of wires, wires running under sub-VIs, wires running in the frame of a while loop, wires running under labels.
    I think there's a temptation to overuse sequences. I don't think you need one here. As I mentioned in my earlier message, case structures and shift registers will be more useful to you.

  • Why does converting word into PDF does not take the background color of the page?

    When I do a page background on a document, and save as pdf, it does not take the background color. It shows only white background.

    This may be a limitation with the built in PDF writer in OS X. Never tried it so I have no idea if it does the same on my Mac.
    As this is not a MS Word problem you are in the right set of forums.
    Have you tried another PDF writer other then the built in one?

  • Why will my macbook air not save a word document without word freezing up and not responding?

    I recently got a Macbook Air.  Whenever I try to save a word document I get the colored pinwheel.  After the colored pinwheel appears, I go into force quit and see that Microsoft Word is not responding.  This happens every time I try to save a word document.  To test the issue I tried to save a blank word document to see if I was just trying to save too much.  Even with the blank document I got the pinwheel and the application was not responding.  I have had macs before and none of them have had any issues.  Please Help!

  • Need some words of wisdom (and clarity) from the community

    Let me start off by saying that I've built my own rig before, but it's been several years since my last build.  Finally had the green to retire 'Frankenstein' and build a new rig.  I did quite a bit of research, read spec sheets, and finally came up with the following rig:
    AMD Athlon II X4 630 Propus 2.8GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache Socket AM3 95W Quad-Core Processor
    MSI NF750-G55 SLI Motherboard
    MSI Nvidia Gforce 9800GT 1GB Video Cards (x2)
    G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL8D-4GBHK (2 kits)
    3 Western Digital Caviar Green WD5000AADS 500GB 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive (2 in Raid 0; One data storage)
    HAF932 Case
    COOLER MASTER Silent Pro M700 RS-700-AMBA-D3 700W ATX12V V2.3 SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply
    Windows 7 Ultimate Edition (64-bit)
    So, after building was done and installing Windows for the first time, all seemed to go OK.  Then, I started getting BSOD issues.  Several times, the BSOD corrupted my Windows install and I had to re-install the OS.  After almost a week of troubleshooting, I realized that the issue was with my memory.
    As stated above, I bought 2 kits of the GSkill memory with the intent of having 8GB of memory on my system (overkill, I know).  I ran Memtest86 (V4) on the memory and found that if I ran the individual sticks, then there was no issues.  Adding a 2nd stick, in either memory slots, I would get a random memory error after 8-12 hrs of running memtest, but only ONE error.  If I went up to 3 sticks or more, the pages of errors would start almost from the beginning of the first pass on Memtest.  During my testing, I noticed that BIOS was reading the memory speed correctly (1333), but the timings were 9-9-9-24 (the memory's actual timings are 8-8-8-21).  I tweaked the memory timings, but that didn't seem to help.
    I have been running stable with only 2 modules in my rig since the build (in March), but I wanted to add the other 2 modules.  After reading more, and the sticky at the top of this forum regarding memory, I am wondering if I wasted money on the 2nd set of memory I bought.  Also, I wanted to seek the wisdom of the group to see if I have set my memory speed/timings correctly to remain stable.  I have not had any errors from windows, but my system randomly 'beeps' while the system is on.  According to my reading of Award BIOS, this means that I'm getting a random memory error.
    If you need any more info, please let me know.  Thanks in advance.

    Thanks, Stu, I'll give that a try.  Also, I have CPUZ images (forgot I should put those in).

  • I need to install Firefox, but every time I try and download it, the downloaded file is corrupted and I cannot install Firefox on my Windows 7 Desktop PC

    I had Firefox installed as my standard webbrowser, but recently it started having problems in regards to websites, some websites wouldn't work as they should. For instance I couldn't open my hotmail email account, it was just a blank white page. Or I would get just code and text on a site that I would normally see images and a designed lay-out. The problems started after I used a demo PC-cleaning program, which removed unnecessary files from my computer. I figured it removed necessary files for firefox to work properly. So I uninstalled Firefox using the uninstaller (but keeping bookmark information etc.) and tried dowloading Firefox 5.0 but the download always crashes or gives me a corrupt file

    Do a clean (re)install:
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Don't remove personal data when uninstalling.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.
