Spell Check For Mail (10.5.7)

Does anyone know of a good, reliable spell check for Mail?

Ok. Not sure what I did - but I can now select "Show Spelling & Grammar.
However, when I now miss-spell a word, it gets underlined in red (check spelling as you type).
This where I need educating. I would have presumed that I could click the underlined word and be shown spelling suggestions (because I get this option in so many other software packages).
Secondly, is there a way of doing the following:
1. Automatically launch the spell checker before sending? Or do I have to manually launch the spell checker each and every time? If I check "Show Spelling & Grammar) it defaults to not showing it when I re-launch.
2. Can I Customize a button for the toolbar in oredr to have Spelling be launched from a click of a button?

How can I enable spell checking for a text box that is just one line, e.g. subject in e-mail?

In a prior version of Firefox I found a website somewhere that told me what to do to enable spell checking for text boxes that are just one line. I got used to being able to send an e-mail with a Subject Line that didn't have a misspelling. Now it doesn't work. Please tell me how I can enable that again. I am on a Mac using Firefox 6.0.2. Thanks!

See:

You can set the pref layout.spellcheckDefault to 2 on the about:config page.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

Change Language for Spell Checking in Mail

Hi,
as far as I could see from other articles here and on other sites, there is no easy way to change the language for spell checking in Mail. It's difficult to imagine that this is true, as in this global world switching from one to another language in different mails is (at least for non-US/UK/etc. users) an immanent need.
Thanks for letting me know if I am mistaken.

If what you are asking about is some kind of shortcut to avoid using the Edit menu, you are correct that nothing like that exists for Mail (or other Apple apps). I think if you use something like SpellCatcher you can switch via a single keystroke.
The fastest method I know of is through AppleScript. I personally use "quick and dirty" routines for shifting from French to English and vice versa, both in Mail and Safari. Your typical toggle-switch bare-bones app looks like this:
tell application "Mail"
tell application "System Events"
tell application process "Mail"
set frontmost to true
try
click menu item "Show Spelling and Grammar" of menu "Spelling and Grammar" of menu item "Spelling and Grammar" of menu "Edit" of menu bar 1
set fen to window "Spelling and Grammar"
click pop up button 1 of fen
set lemenu to menu 1 of pop up button 1 of fen
if selected of menu item "Français" of lemenu is true then
click menu item "British English" of lemenu
else
click menu item "Français" of lemenu
end if
click button 1 of fen
on error
beep 2
end try
end tell
end tell
end tell
Nothing fancy here! Compile it, keep it handy (in the dock for example), and a single click does the switch for you. You can make endless variations on this, even make it look kind of smart, with dialogs and all that, thus defeating the purpose.
AppleScript support is kind of sketchy so you have to use UI programming.
Cheers,
RTP

Spell check for Turkish

I try to use pages for my reports or notes.
Pages does not perform spell check in Turkish, same as the mail, I can't think of anybody in todays life and does not use mail. When will Turkish users have language support in our own language? I don't mean sceens, they are in Turkish but when I write someting in Mail, its all red underlined.
Thanks to those interested.

Spell check for any application

Having only just my iphone I can't believe there is no spell check for the mail functionality. Aside from that why is spell check unavailable for yahoo and gmail through the web browser? Any ideas please...

Move the associated plist files for those applications out of /Library/Preferences/ within your home folder to the Desktop. E.g., com.apple.textedit.plist for TextEdit, quit and relaunch TextEdit, and re-enable spell as you type. If that fixes things, delete the moved file, and do the same with any other apps where it appears to be broken.

Spell check in Mail Leopard

I accidently got some miss spelled words learned into Spell check in Mail app. On Leopard.
What can I do to correct this problem. Is there away to reset the spell checker so that miss spelled words I learned into spell checker can be eliminated?

See this article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh1650.html which among other things says "If you accidentally add a misspelled word to the dictionary, type the misspelling in the Spelling dialog, then click Forget."
What I found is if you highlighted the misspelled word control/right click on it and choose "Unlearn Spelling" from the menu.
You prompted me to look for a user dictionary that I can edit. I Have not yet found it.

How can I enforce automatic spell checking for selected fields of data entered by form users?

I'd like to be able to enforce spell checking of selected fields in the forms that I've created using LiveCycle Designer 8.2 at run time, as opposed to design time. I understand the version LCD 8 has a nifty new spell checker for form designers. But I want to spell check the data entered by users using Acrobat Reader. And I want to enforce the spell checking automatically on selected fields only.
Presently it seems that users filling in my forms, must know how to manually right-click on each field and select "Spell Check" from the resulting dialog box in order to check for spelling errors in the data the user has entered in the form.
I would like to discover a way to enforce spell checking in selected fields, just as I am able to do in forms created using Acrobat Pro. In Acrobat Pro, I can set a property for each field to require spell checking. but that feature seems to be missing in Livecycle Designer.
I've check the Object model for XFA forms hoping that I might find a method I can call with a Javascript, to check spelling based on an event such as onBlur. But I haven't found a spell check method.
Am I missing something simple? Is there a way to set each field to be spell checked when a user is filling in the form using the free Acrobat Reader?
Our users are not sophisticated and requiring them to spell check each field separately just won't cut it...
Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
-David Bartholomew

Hi David,
Two things...
At design time set the locale of the form to one that Acrobat spell checks. For example English (US) and English (UK) locales have spell checkers; however English (Ireland) does not. Check the Warnings tab to see if spell checking is supported for your locale.
If your form locale supports spell checking then you can go to the button script below.
If you form locale does NOT support spell checking then Stephanie has a great work around to force spell checking (http://forums.adobe.com/message/2233945#2233945).
Bring a regular button onto the form and in the click event have the following:
app.execMenuItem("Spelling:Check Spelling");
Which will open the spell checker for all fields. Thanks to Paul for extracting all of the accessible menu items (http://forums.adobe.com/message/1912914#1912914).
Good luck,
Niall

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

Constantly "Checking for Mail"

My new iPhone is constantly "Checking for Mail" while I'm trying to delete or read messages that are already downloaded. It holds me up from deleting or doing anything until the operation is complete. I've got it set to check manually, and also tried 15, 30 and 60 minutes, but still it checks for mail everytime I open Mail. How do I get it to chill out and let me go through my mailbox and check only when I want it to?

I've experienced this a few times. The problem was some kind of deadlock related to my Yahoo mailbox. The workaround for me was to log into my Yahoo account via the web, create a folder, move my Inbox content to that folder, delete and re-add my Yahoo account on the iPhone client, check email (nothing to download), then via the web move all my inbox messages back from the temporary folder to the inbox. On the next reload of my Yahoo email Inbox all messages were displayed and the "Checking for Mail" hang resolved. A client issue perhaps.
I seem to recall that this Checking for Mail condition would also block the ability to download email from other non-Yahoo email accounts.
This may or may not be the same as your issue.

How do I obtain spell check for Photoshop Elements 12

I use spell check with my Photoshop CS but I don't see a spell check for my Elements 12. Is there a plug in I can get for a spell check?

In photoshop cs2 record the spell check action:
1. Create a new document and type a word you know is misspelled
2. Go to Window>Actions
3. At the bottom of the actions palette press the Create New Set button
4. At the bottom of the actions palette press the Create New Action button
5. Press Record, go to Edit>Check Spelling, press Done on the spell check dialog and click on the Stop Recording button at the bottom of the actions palette
6. Save your action set to somewhere like your desktop using the Save Actions from the actions palette fly-out menu.
In the photoshop elements 12 editor in the Expert mode
1. Go to window>Actions and load the spell check action from the fly-out menu on the actions panel
2. Click on the name of the action (not the name of the action set) and press Play to play the action.
The check spelling action should work in pse 12 just as check spelling does in photoshop cs2

Spell checker for KWrite doesn't work [SOLVED]

How do I enable spell checking for the KDE editors, i.e. KWrite, Kate, etc? I've installed aspell via pacman, it's in /usr/bin which is in my PATH. In KWrite's Settings>Configure Editor>Plugins, there is an option "KTextEditor KDataTool Plugin: Enable data tools like thesaurus and spell check (if installed)" which I've checked. In another distro, that's how I enabled spell checking with aspell, i.e. by checking this box for the spell check plugin. But in Arch this doesn't seem to be sufficient. When I try to spell check a document in KWrite, I get this error:
"The spelling program could not be started. Please make sure you have set the correct spelling program and that it is properly configured and in your PATH."
What else do I need to do?
Robert
EDIT: Sorry, searching this forum for "spellcheck" hadn't yielded any solution but after I posted this I also searched for "spell AND check" and found the solution: I had neglected to pick Aspell as the client for spell checking in Control Center>KDE Components>Spell Checker.
