Please add "iPhone" to the spell check dictionary.

The forums spell checker is flagging iPhone, which is an Apple product name. Please add it to the dictionary.

As you don't run a Mac I can only suggest that you add them yourself - after all you only have to do it once!
Umm, I want to be as "constructive" as possible, so I'll clarify my statement. My suggestion referred to the web based spell checker built into the apple discussions site. It's the little "ABC" checkmark icon between underline and quote. This application does not run on anyone's local machine, (Mac or other)- it's web based.
On the server, it contains a database of all the words that are spelled correctly, along with thousands of suggestions for how to correctly spell words that aren't correct.
Apple generally takes very good care to make the user experience seamless and well thought out. Unfortunately in this case, it's failure to include it's own brand names like "phone" seems careless or at least sloppy. If you look beyond just it's own product names like "iMac", you'll also discover than common feature words like WiFi, GSM and dozens of other words which are commonly used in these forums are also missing. I'm trying to help Apple give the most professional image possible.
As for your comment, immediatly replying that I'm not using a Mac so too bad seems to run counter to the desire of this community, beyond the fact that you don't understand this application. If the goal is to encourage Windows, (or in my case Linux), users to move to OSX, then you might want to be or encouraging and not so dismissive. If your goal is to alienate potential customers perhaps you're ideally suited for the Linux user community who's elitist ugliness for NOOBS is legendary.

How can add Greek Language to spell-checking dictionary?

How can I add a new language in the spell-checking dictionary that is not the given options, specifically Greek?
And if there is a way can I do it to other applications as well (Safari, Textedit etc.)?

Spell checking is not an application feature but a system one.
When a checker is installed, it is available for every modern application.
Is Grrek available in the list of languages available from
System PrefPane entitled International ?
If itsn't, install it.
Maybe this will connect a spellchecker too.
If it doesn't, grab a checker from cocoaSpell.

I'd like to add words to the spell check

For instance, I'm tired of being corrected with "meet up" every single time I'm typing "meetup". I'd rather keep spell check on (System Preferences > Language & Text > Text) but I'd also rather be able to add words to my spell checking dictionary. SOL?

Create a sliver of your gradient image and let it tile
vertically or
horizontally to fill the page (depending on whether the
gradient is a
vertical or horizontal one).
And a posteriori, you're welcome!

Hi, can someone please tell me why the spell check in pages doesn't work. I went to preferences and enabled this auto spell checker and have set the language to british english. But still it doesn't work while it works perfectly in TextEdit.

Inspector > Text > More > Language
Only applies to selected text, like making it a particular font.
It is not a setting that sticks. If you continue to paste in text from elsewhere particularly the Internet it will have a different or None language set to it. You need to select it and make it B.E.

Is it possible to change the spell check dictionary in "pages for iPad" from Spanish to UK English? The app was downloaded in Spain.

Is it possible to change the spell check dictionary in “pages for iPad” from Spanish to UK English? The app was purchased in Spain and I am living in spain temporarily

Spell checking should be based on the keyboard layout that you've got selected in Settings > General > Keyboard > International Keyboards - if you have an English 'UK keyboard' selected then the spell checking should be English

Can you add a word or name to the spell checker in pages for iPad?

I'm looking for a way to add a word, alternate spelling or proper name to the spell checker for the newest version of pages for iPad so they won't keep showing up as "misspelled".
Can you help?

No, the ability to add a word to spell check dictionary is not a current feature.

Is there a way for the basic ENGLISH spell check dictionary to auto update? Its really annoying to have to update the spellcheck dictionary everytime FF updates

Every time FF updates, it forces me to download and install the spell check dictionary for English. It makes me just choose to use another browser since more often than not its opening facebook and I like spell check when I use fb. Is there any solution?

What Firefox locale do you use?
Is that the en-US version or another locale like the French locale?
You shouldn't lose installed dictionaries and other installed extensions when you update Firefox unless you would reset Firefox or a new profile got created for other reasons like problem with the profiles.ini file.
Are there otherwise problems with updating that you notice?
Note that in case you do not need all four French dictionaries then you can remove others and only keep the ones you need.
You can find the dictionary files in the dictionaries folder of the extension in the extensions folder in the Firefox profile folder or possibly in the Firefox program folder if you use a French Firefox locale (don't know if that locale includes a dictionary).
*[email protected]
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)

Do you have a dictionary installed and selected?
* You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the Languages submenu.
* Open the "Add Dictionaries" link to install a dictionary if you do not have one.
* Make sure that [X] "Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu is check-marked.
You can enable or disable spell checking globally:
* Tools > Options > Advanced : General: Browsing: "Check my spelling as I type"

Perhaps you can find an Arabic dictionary for OpenOffice. That may also work with OS X.

I want to remove an incorrectly spelled word from my spell check dictionary (--a word that I added to the dictionary).

While writing an e-mail, I added the name of a place to my spell check dictionary. Moments later, I realized that I had misspelled that place name. Now I want to remove the incorrectly spelled name. Is there a simple solution?

Why wont the spell check function work in a fillable form? Please help deadline looming.

Spell check wont work. Have read through various internet help solutions but no luck so far.
I have windows 7 64 bit.
The forms are on a CD-Rom (from about 10 years ago) but I have up to Adobe date software on my PC.
Edit-Preferences-Spelling shows I have English United Kingdom selected and the check box, check spelling whilst typing is ticked.
When I press F7 and start it finds nothing even though I have made deliberate mistakes to check if it's working.
Any help would really be appreciated.

It's possible the author of the file disabled the spell-checking option for this field.

Is the spell checker a built in feature of firefox

When Firefox is downloaded does the spell checker automatically come with it? Is it built in to the Firefox browser?

A spell checker is part of Firefox; a small dictionary is included in US English versions only. You can add dictionaries:
*See --> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/language-tools/ (access this page by clicking on "More" in the line just under "Add-ons" then choose "Dictionaries & Language Packs" on this page: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ )

How do I change the default language for the spell checker? - solved, sort of...

As the previous thread was closed without actual resolution - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/941350?esab=a&s=&r=0&as=s
I managed to solve this on my end by just reinstalling firefox using the localisation of the default dictionary language i wanted from here - http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
A bit of a shame that the main download page doesnt select the geographically relevant localisation for you and even more so that changing the default language for the in built spell checker is so kak. oh well.

How to implement the spell check in oracle forms 10g or 6i...

How to implement the spell check in oracle forms.
Is there any different method is there.
Please help me....
Praveen.K

Here is one different from Jspell..
In 6i client/server you can call MS Word spell checker using OLE. Below sample code for 6i.
For 10g you will need webutil to use same code. install webutil and just replace "OLE2." with "CLIENT_OLE2."
PROCEDURE spell_check (item_name IN VARCHAR2)
IS
   my_application   ole2.obj_type;
   my_documents     ole2.obj_type;
   my_document      ole2.obj_type;
   my_selection     ole2.obj_type;
   get_spell        ole2.obj_type;
   my_spell         ole2.obj_type;
   args             ole2.list_type;
   spell_checked    VARCHAR2 (4000);
   orig_text        VARCHAR2 (4000);
BEGIN
   orig_text := NAME_IN (item_name);
   my_application := ole2.create_obj ('WORD.APPLICATION');
   ole2.set_property (my_application, 'VISIBLE', FALSE);
   my_documents := ole2.get_obj_property (my_application, 'DOCUMENTS');
   my_document := ole2.invoke_obj (my_documents, 'ADD');
   my_selection := ole2.get_obj_property (my_application, 'SELECTION');
   ole2.set_property (my_selection, 'TEXT', orig_text);
   get_spell :=ole2.get_obj_property (my_application, 'ACTIVEDOCUMENT');
   ole2.invoke (get_spell, 'CHECKSPELLING');
   ole2.invoke (my_selection, 'WholeStory');
   ole2.invoke (my_selection, 'Copy');
   spell_checked := ole2.get_char_property (my_selection, 'TEXT');
   spell_checked :=SUBSTR (REPLACE (spell_checked, CHR (13), CHR (10)),1,LENGTH (spell_checked));
   COPY (spell_checked, item_name);
   args := ole2.create_arglist;
   ole2.add_arg (args, 0);
   ole2.invoke (my_document, 'CLOSE', args);
   ole2.destroy_arglist (args);
   ole2.RELEASE_OBJ (my_selection);
   ole2.RELEASE_OBJ (get_spell);
   ole2.RELEASE_OBJ (my_document);
   ole2.RELEASE_OBJ (my_documents);
   ole2.invoke (my_application, 'QUIT');
   ole2.RELEASE_OBJ (my_application);
END;Call it like this: SPELL_CHECK ('BLOCK.MY_TEXT_ITEM' );

The spell check box is ticked in options , but still dosn't work , why?

I have just downloaded fire fox on to my new computer, and although the spell check box is ticked in the options menu , I can't get spell check to work, can anyone help me?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== from it being downloaded

Not all locales come with a dictionary installed for licensing reasons.
If you do not have the en-US locale then check that you have a dictionary installed (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and selected.
You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the ''Languages'' submenu.
Also make sure that [[X]"Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu has a tick.
You can also try to toggle the "Check Spelling" item off and on again.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Spell_checking and [[Using the spell checker]]
See also http://kb.mozillazine.org/Dictionaries
You can look here for more dictionaries: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/browse/type:3

Please add "iPhone" to the spell check dictionary.
