public domain dictionaries lying around; providing the ability to add to a
personal dictionary sounds easy; a browser on near matches is easy. The
only "interesting" parts that come to mind would be ways to avoid putting
all variants of a word in the dictionary, e.g., to avoid having to store
all plurals as separate words, and good algorithms for guessing at
alternative words when the word is not found.
Not only would this give you independence from what was installed on the
client, but it would give you a possible server-side version for use with
the Web.

Using Forms OLE builtin to access word spell check

I am trying to find a way to utilize the Forms OLE built in for using MS Word spell check. We are upgrading our forms from 6 to 10g. In version 6 we were able to use OLE to open word and use it to pass in our string we wanted spell checked.
Is there a similiar feature in forms 10g?

Jim,
the Forms9i demos have a PJC solution that does spell checking (http://download.oracle.com/otn/other/general/forms9iDemos9_0_0_1.zip). The Forms 10g version of the demo is not yet avaiable but will be soon. If time is short, then you can make the 9i sources work in Forms 10g with no extra work required.
A viewlet demo can be accessed through the following link

Windows 2008 Remote Desktop Services - Word Spell Check

We are running Windows 2008 servers on our network with remote desktop services (terminal services). We currently experiencing a challenge with Word 2010. The spell check feature is not working, when you try and run it gives an error "Microsoft Word
can't check the spelling or grammar in this document. An error occurred and this feature is no longer functioning properly." After about 5 clicks it comes up with Cannot find the proofing tools for English (Australia). It eventually it works, need to
get it to work the first time. I have searched all around but can't seem to find the answer.

I'd try them over here.

Office 04 - Word Spell checker

I don't think this is a Leopard problem but I have only noticed it since upgrading. I am using Office 04 and my spellchecker now has the Add button greyed out whenever I am doing a spellcheck which means I cannot add words to it. I am using Custom Dictionary and have been through all the preferences. Any ideas?
Thanks - Bruce

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' );

Java BAdI implementation for Customer specific Spell check

In IS-M/AMC, I am working on implementation of a Java BAdI, namely ICustSpellCheck, which enables Customer Specific Spell check instead of the standard MS-Word spell check. Could someone provide pointers on the java code that goes into different methods of this class?

Hi Dharmendra,
Check if this is your case..
Note
This Business Add-In is not suitable for checking individual field content in an installed base, or installed base component: To do this, see Business Add-In: Additional Checks When Modifying Installed Base Headers and Business Add-In: Additional Checks When Modifying Components.

I've been using JTidy for HTML syntax checking. It's a java port of Html Tidy, and it works pretty good. The documentation is pretty sparse, but I think they're intent was to have people refer to the HTML Tidy documentation anyway (JTidy mimics HTML tidy even down to the bugs). Also, it doesn't look like there's been much upkeep activity but....it's free. anyway, here's the link:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/jtidy
good luck.

I can't use word because a box keeps popping up saying that it can't find the spell check files?

I open Word and there is a pop-up message saying that word cannot start the spelling checker because the files may be missing and to make sure that the spell checker files are installed or use the Microsoft installer to install spell checker. I have never had this problem with Word before and spell check has always been fine. What should I do?

Since word is made by Microsoft you should post your question on their own forums for their Mac software as Apple Communities only provide support for Apple products:

Why is my spell checker not working in a document using Word 2003

I have a word document in Word 2003 . I was altering it and noticed that from page 3 to 6 the spell checker does not work.
I transferred the pages into another another file still didn't work . Just copied a paragraph still didn't work. So I then started typing the rest of the document into another file and straight away it underlined my spelling mistakes in red.
So why not in these few pages of my document.
This is a paragraph from the pages below. I altered some words deliberately to see if my Word 2003 would pick them up. It didn't.
The landlord shall be entitiled to pursue the tenant for any reasonable costs incurred as a result of the tenant’s faulure to pay rent including but not limited to any charges for returned cheques or any reasonable costs incurred
in pursuing the tenant for payment of unpaid rent.
But when I put it in here it does pick them up. So it is something I have done .

Hi,
According to your description, this issue is more related to Word. The Word IT Pro Discussions forum is a better place for word questions, we will move it there for you.

The Firefox spell checker has the option for me to add custom words to the dicionary. Please tell me how to delete a word from this file of custom words because a mispelled word got in there by mistake.

I want to know how to delete words from the custom dictionary in the spell checker that I put there by mistake.

In your profile directory, the file is '''persdict.dat''' and you should know how to get to your profile. One way is to enter '''about:support''' in the location bar then click on "Open Containing Folder". Or go through the Help menu > Troubleshooting Information > ...
You can edit with wordpad, or notepad++, but not with notepad,
because there is one word per line and you will not see that in notepad after Firefox has updated it.  Update after closing Firefox.
I will have to change my Spell Check documentation to not suggest notepad

How do i remove a word from spell check in OS X 10.4?

Hi all, I accidentally added a misspelled word to the spell check dictionary and i was wondering how to remove it.
I noticed there were already a few similar questions, but i could not get their solutions to work, as they were obviously using a new version of OS X.
So does anyone know how to remove a word from from spell check in OS x 10.4? or else how to reset the spell check?
Cheers.

OK, if you are talking about the Apple spell checker, do the following:
Open an application like TextEdit. Right click in the application window and you will get a popup. Select Spelling and then Spelling... to get a Spelling Dialog Box.
Type in the mis-spelled word in the text box and then click the Forget button. That should undo the mischief.

Mac: When I click on a misspelled word in the body of an email the spell checker defaults to first word in the email even if it already spelled correctly

The spell checker identifies incorrect spelled words, however when I right click or control click the word the spell checker only highlights in yellow the first word in the email and gives a dialog with the spelling and definition even though that word already correctly spelled. This is version 33.1 on my mac desktop running 10.10. Spell checking works properly if I use Safari.

Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause
Firefox issues. '''Disable All of them.'''
'''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Start Firefox in Safe Mode]''' {web link}
While you are in safe mode;
Type '''about:preferences#advanced'''<Enter> in the address bar.
Under '''Advanced,''' Select '''General.'''
Look for and turn off '''Use Hardware Acceleration'''.
Poke around safe web sites. Are there any problems?
Then restart.

Adobe Reader X - after using the spell checker words run together

Hi,
I am using Adove LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2 to design electronic forms that are filled out in Aobe Reader X. However, when the spell checker is used in Adobe Reader X, all the words that were corrected by the spell checker become one word. For example "Together is better" becomes "togetheris better." This is preventing my company from using electronic forms and I really want to convert my company to electronic forms. Does anyone know when the next version of reader will be available and if this will be fixed? Is there a workaround?
Thanks

Hi,
This is the exact issue I am having. It would open then self terminate within seconds. I was suggested to un-install the program. Now I cant get any visual, and there is an error message. AAARRRGH! So frustrated.

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"
This is the company that makes SpellCatcher: http://www.rainmakerinc.com/
They are not affiliated with Apple. In fact, No development has occurred since last year.
