Safari on Windows. How does one change default spelling dictionary?

How does one change the default spelling dictionary for Safari on Windows? For the Mac, it changes in response to the default locale, but on Windows, it just sets to American English and you cannot change it anywhere I can see. All my locale information in Windows is set to UK English.
In fact on some websites, like this one, the spelling checker seems to be disabled! I'm on Windows 7 64-bit, BTW, running Safari 5.1.7

I think I just found the answer (though I don't know why the interface is buried this way). Find a word that the American spell check is flagging, right click on it, select Spelling and Grammar, and then select Show Spelling and Grammar. Make sure that the language listed at the bottom says British English (not my choice of what to call it, so please don't blame the messenger).

  • How does one change the font size for folders and/or file lists in the Bookmarks Library?

    How does one change the font size for folders and/or file lists in the '''Bookmarks''' Library?
    Since the upgrade to version 9.0.1 of Firefox, the Bookmarks feature changes are confusing me. They seem to be confusing themselves as well. The list of bookmarks has changed. The font size is so small that my aging eyes cannot read it without fogging the screen with my breath. Some folders are out of alphabetical order (where I know they were previously good), and some are missing altogether (folders to which I frequently add references).
    As for missing or deranged files or folders, was there something that I should have done or now need to do to recover those after the upgrade (or before)?
    With regard to font size,
    1. there is no “Edit Bookmarks” or like option to edit the list in this version
    2. the “zoom” option in the “view” list of functions is greyed out when in “Show All Bookmarks” window
    3. expanding the browser window has no effect on font size
    4. “Preferences” settings for font size has no effect in that window either, including advanced settings
    5. “Help” offers none that I can find.
    Can any of you Help?!?

    Maybe this extension helps:

    And i've run mySess.setIdentity to change to the old owner and new owner with no success?
    Please how does one change the owner of an event?

    The Calendar Sdk doesn't allow you to change the ownership of an event. (ORGANIZER value).

  • How does one change the date format for PlayMemories Home folders?

    I am using PlayMemories Home Version 2.0.00.11271 and have many folders within it which contain only photographs imported from my Sony DSC-H9.  Unfortunately, PlayMemories Home insists upon dating all folders in a month/day/year manner; and this makes little sense if one wishes to have the folders listed in logical chronological order.  How can I change the date format to year/month/day?  Changing the name of each folder, one by one, will take a very long time!  Your helpful advice in this matter will be greatly appreciated.  Thank you. System information:
    Operating system: Microsoft Windows XP Professional
    Service pack : Service Pack 3
    Memory: 1.5 GB
    Processor:         Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.86GHz
    Max. clock speed: 1.86
    Manufacturer: IBM
    Model: 1847W76
    System language setting: English (United States)
    User language setting: English (United States) 

    I too thought that the folder naming format was obviously wrong and couldn't find a way to change it. I do agree that placing photos in folders according to when they were taken is a great idea. I had been considering writing some software to do just that. After discovering that PlayMemories does it, I had it re-import all my photos. Then I wrote a small Perl script to rename all of the folders into year-month-day format. Included here is the Perl script. It only acts on a single folder - use it on the root folder where all the PlayMemories folders are. It will rename all folders currently in a month-day-year format. I used it without problems but of course there is no guarentee that it is error free. This should work with any common version of Perl. Tom # There should be one command line argument: the directory to act upon
    if ( scalar(@ARGV) == 0 ){
     print "Usage: RenameDirs <dir>\n";
     print " Where dir is the directory containing the directories to rename.\n";
     exit;
    $mydir = $ARGV[0];
    chdir $mydir or die "Couldn't chdir to $mydir: $!";
    opendir(ROOTPHOTODIR, ".") or die "Failed to open the pictures directory $mydir: $!";
    @allphotodirs = readdir ROOTPHOTODIR;
    closedir ROOTPHOTODIR;
    foreach $dir (@allphotodirs) {
     if ( -d $dir ) {
      print "$dir is a directory";
      if ( $dir =~ /^(\d{1,2})-(\d{1,2})-(\d{4})$/ ) {
       print " and has the proper format: month $1 day $2 year $3 and will be renamed to ";
       $newname = sprintf "%4u-%02u-%02u", $3, $1, $2;
       print "$newname\n";
       rename $dir, $newname or die "failed to rename $dir to $newname: $!";
      else {
       print " but is not of the proper format\n"
     elsif ( -f $dir ) {
      print "$dir is a file\n";
     else {
      print "$dir is neither a directory nor a file\n";
    }

  • How does one change the folder to which scanned images are saved?

    Using a CanoScan 9000F Mark II scanner
    Using the ScanGear driver software that came with it
    Right now every time I scan something, it is automatically saved in "My Documents", and I have to drag and drop the file where I really want it to go. How do I change it so that the file is saved where I want it to go in the first place. Also, it is automatically assigning a file name so that I have to go to the file and change that to what I would like it to be too. How do I make it so that I can name the file before it gets saved. Neither do I see where it gives me the option to choose the format in which the file is saved; it is saving the files automatically as JPG, but I would like to save them as TIFF or BMP.
    These seem to be very standard options; so I don't know why I'm finding it so hard. I must be blind or something.
    Thank you for your time and assistance.

  • How do I change my spelling dictionary?

    I have accidentally clicked on "add to dictionary" when trying to correct a few misspelled words while using firefox.
    So I went to finder/library/application support/firefox/profiles/persdict.dat
    There I found a list of the words. So I deleted the misspelled words. Clicked "save" and exited.
    However, next time I open finder and open the persdict/dat file again, those stupid words are still in there!!
    So how do I edit my "spelling word bank" that has the misspelled words? Thanks.

    Hi,
    Strange, should work. Did you close Firefox before editing the file?

  • How does one change the dictionary default from Portuguese to English?

    In one of the upgrades, instead of defaulting to English, my spellchecker instead defaults to Portuguese, which is the first language listed (also have French and Spanish). So every time I open Firefox, I have to change back to English.

    I've had this problem for over a year. I have three dictionaries installed, but when opening a text box i.e. on a web page where text may be entered e.g. to create email or fill a form on line, 90+% of the words are red-wavy underlined because the dictionary in use is not my native language, but one I may occasionally try to use when I must...which is rarely.
    Firefox NEEDS to have a setting for the Default Spell-Check Language, and it doesn't have one.
    Unfortunately, I stopped coding some thirty years ago, and would love to do the fix, but I've simply been ignorant too long and must beg this of the fine developer crew out there.

  • How does one change the default iMessage font?

    from Helvetica 12 to anything else other than going to format>show fonts which seems to only temporarily alter the font?

    Hi,
    You cannot access the two settings indicated ?
    The Font Option allows choice of Font
    You can colour the "Balloons" as in my Pic and you can also colour the Font.
    I am trying to think of any reason why you may not be able to change but cannot think of any.
    Possibles
    Parental Controls does exclude you from changing some things in the Preferences (mostly in the Accounts pane and Privacy for AIM names).
    If you did not own the .plist this info is kept in there might be issues but I cannot say I have seen them before.

  • How does one change XY Graph Plot.Style property defaults OR Change the Properties od Individual Plots?

    I have an XY graph with a variable (known) number of multiple plots. Because the number of plots can vary, the plot style is sometimes not what I want. I'm trying to use a property node in a for-loop to change the Plot.LineStyle, Plot.PointStyle, and Plot.Fill/PtColor properties for each of the plots in an XY graph. However, perhaps because the names are not static, the colors do not seem to be updating as I'd like, and I'm really unsure as to why this is happening. Strangely, the LineStyle and PointStyle do seem to be updating as I'd like.

    Hello Pierre,
    This dynamic color feature is still not present in 2009, much less 6.1. I have linked a discussion forum post here that discusses in detail a work around for addiing this functionality. While you may not be able to open their example VIs, the theory is described; such that, you may attempt to replicate in 6.1. 
    Hope this helps.

  • How does one change a "rollover" value in a text field of a fillable PDF?

    I have a fillable PDF, and the values displayed when rolling the pointer over a fillable text field are showing some strange values.  I inherited this form from someone who is no longer with the company.  I need to be able to change the values but can't figure out how.  I'm new to LiveCycle so any help is greatly appreciated.

    When you click on the field, right click to properties.  If the tab isn't there then go to the top toolbar, click on Window and it should appear in the list there.  Once you click on it in the Window menu it will appear as a tab on your properties box.
