Spell Check Freezes Program

Anyone having trouble with Indesign 5 freezing the program when run? Any fixes available? I have tried re-booting several times. Spell check will work for a bit, but then the progrom will freeze up and I have to Program Manager my way out.

I think so. But the fact is I only have this one doc on InDesign. A little
more information... This document originally constructed on MS Word. The
dictionary identified (I think) were somehow tied into a Russion dictionary
even though there was never any Russion words involved. So anyway, I
brought over the document and have been working on it for a couple of
months. finally went to spell check and about 3/4 the way into the document
the program froze. I tried several things. Found that when I started the
program again and the spell check, that it eventually froze maybe a page or
two down the line, but not in the same spot. So I did a Select-All and
changed converted to English: US. Tried again, and again froze up a few
pages into the process.
It may be that the Russion thing was a little odd, but still it shouldn't
freeze the program. Also, it is the program, not Windows, that is frozen.
If I bomb out of the InDesign program, all of the other programs are OK.

Runtime memory checking - freezes program from the start

We'd very much like to use Forte to check a program for memory leaks. When it runs from the GUI invocation it seems to freeze up during init'ing. I discovered "bcheck", and tried it as well (See below), but once again it seems not to be talking to the proc it's intended to, and nor does the log show anything, so it seems to freeze as well.
Any clues on how we move on from here?

Spell check feature in many programs

Hey-
In many programs, pidgin, tomboy, etc, I have the squiggly lines under my words as if they're misspelled. Is there one place where I set a dictionary, or can I set these program up to use openoffice's dictionary, gnome's dictionary, or firefox's dictionaries?
Really, i dont have a clue about this, all I know is that in other distros that's been done automatically so i dont know how to do it manually now.
Thanks
Miesnerd

I am pretty sure pidgin uses Aspell, possibly through GtkSpell. I know for certain that Tomboy uses GtkSpell. So you're going to need the Aspell dictionaries for the languages you want installed. Then it is dependent on locale which language it uses with English as default if the correct dictionaries aren't installed.
However, I know that for example for pidgin there is a plugin: http://plugins.guifications.org/trac/wiki/switchspell to set spell check languages... even different for each contact. I think there may be some system-wide way to do it but I haven't seen any.

Need help with spell checker program

Hi
I am writing a spell checker program and need help for a simple logic.I have "List" of correctly spelled words and a String array of wrong spelled words.How can I compare both and tell that for eg xyz word is not spelled correctly.

(Actually, to me it sounds like you have a Set of correctly spelled words and another Set of words which may or may not be correctly spelled, and you want the difference...)That is what it sounds like to me also, and that is easy.

"Can't contact Spell Checker".... in ANY program?

I've been getting the message "Can't or Couldn't contact Spell Checker" in both Neo Office and Text Edit, or any non-browser program that uses word processing. It used to happen some in Safari, but the latest version seems to have fixed the issue w/that browser. Please help, if you can. I really need spell checking! I haven't been using Pages recently, but this seems to apply to Text Edit, so I'm assuming it would apply to iWork should I do the new upgrade. It seems to be an "internal" problem that is affecting multiple software programs.
Thanks in advance for any help. Garth.

thanks peggy, but...
Been there. Done that. I did check the Crash Log files, and I can tell you that the filepath has something to do with the Frameworks folder---maybe a corrupted file in there that was brought on by one of the recent apple updates. I don't have iWork yet. Text Edit spell check doesn't work at all. Since I've had no 3rd party spell check apps installed (that I can see anywhere), then I'm assuming that this problem originated with one of the Tiger updates. It seems as though all of the posts I've read say Tiger is the OS particularly affected. I don't want to Archive and Install if it just ends up repeating the same Kernel flaw when I re-download the software updates.
thanks anyway,
GArth.

Spell check issue after 'archive and install'

hi,
after doing an 'archive and install', the apple spell check doesn't work no more. whatever program i use with the spell check activated will give me a failure notice as soon as i start typing "spell check could not be detected" (or sthg similar, i get the message in german). the result is a close-to-freeze of that program until i 'okay' the notification.
anybody an idea how to properly (re-)instal the spell check so that my OS recognizes it?
thanks and greets!

Bug? Mailto: in combination with Office 2013 Spell Checking.

Dear community,
For one of our sollutions we use the mailto protocol to send a hyperlink which users can use to automatically open a predefined new-email-window.
This works fine with Office Professional Plus 2010 [EN-US] (32bit) in combinatione with Microsoft Office Language Pack 2010 - Dutch/Nederlands (32bit).
However, Office Professional Plus 2013 [EN-US] (32bit), in combination with Microsoft Office Language Pack 2013 - Dutch/Nederlands (32bit), crashes whenever the spellingcheck is started.
The mailto-command we use to reproduce this problem is (enter command in Internet Explorer, open with Outlook):
mailto:[email protected]?subject=%20Actie%20vereist&body=%5b2103162%2f335159076094968874376260057075247208793%5d
During analyses we concluded:
- Office Configuration Analyzer Tool 1.2 (Full Scan) did not find any related issues.
- Spellchecker crashes while checking the text within the body.
- Uninstalling Microsoft Office Language Pack 2013 - Dutch/Nederlands solves the problem, but obviosly, we want to keep the Dutch spelling check functionality.
- Standard Englsh (U.S.) spellchecking functions without problems.
- This problem is reproducable on any computer running Office Professional Plus 2013 [EN-US] in combination with the Dutch (Nederlands) spelling check. Tried multiple hardware configurations (Intel based) and multiple OS's (Windows 7 Enterprise
(64bit), Windows 8.1 Enterprise (64bit), Windows 8.1 Pro (64bit). All with the same result.
Is there way to solve this issue, without loosing Outlook 2013 as client and Dutch Spelling Check capabilities?
Kind regards,
Leon Kandelaars.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for your reaction.
Q - Do you mean Outlook crashes when we click the Spelling & Grammar button under Review tab?
A - Yeah, if you try to edit the mail and have 'check spelling as you type' activated, it wil crash as well.
Q - If we copy the email body and paste it to a new email message, will this issue continue?
Does this   issue happen with other Office 2013 programs? Please try to use 'spell check' in word and check if the same issue occurs.
A - If you copy the generated body to a new email or Word 2013, the spelling check will in both cases crash the application.
Q - In addition, we can also have a look at the event log to see if we can find anything useful.
A - The crash generates an "Application" "Hang error". I've generated 2 (1 with Outlook, 1 with Word):

Spell Checker No Longer Working in 10.6.4

Hi,
after updating to 10.6.4 the spell checker has forgotten all words in German and Spanish. So all my texts are nearly completely underlined in red. This applies to all programs. It however recognizes words from my own dictionary as well as English texts. Other languages I haven't tried. Rebooting did not solve the problem. I haven't touched any language settings in the system settings. What can I do to get back my spell checker?
Regards,
Alexander

I noticed that /System/Library/Services/AppleSpell.service has decreased in size since a backup from last month (from about 10MB to 3MB). So I restored the old version of this directory from my backup, logged off and on again, and now spell checking works for me again in multiple languages.
However please note that this is a potentially dangerous procedure. It might be safer to reinstall the operating system manually from scratch (not an automatic restore from the backup - this will just reinstall the broken AppleSpell.service).
Cheerio,
freki

Spell check broken after IOS 6.0.1 update

After updating one of our iPads to 6.0.1 the spell checking no longer works. All of the settings (under keyboard) relating to spell checking, capitalization, "." are ON but none of these features work in any program. I powered off the iPad and restarted it but these features no longer work. I tried turning the features off and then on but no luck here. Our other iPad and both iPhones are on IOS 6.0 and these features work just fine. I don't plan to upgrade to 6.0.1 on these devices until we determine what broke in the 6.0.1 update. Any ideas or suggestions will be appreciated.

Ok, this is a bit wierd. After ckuan's reply, I was going to try the suggestion. When I turned on the iPad, before trying the suggestion, I find that spell checking is working as it should. The iPad had ben on standby for several days but not completely powered off. Don't you just love "self fixing" issues. Wished I knew exactally what happened. Anyway, thanks ckuan for the suggestion.

I can't change the spell check to UK English

On a Mac with an existing CS6 InDesign document, I have tried everything to change the spell check to use a UK language, e.g., I want "programme", not "program".
1. Before I open the document, I have selected InDesign/Preferences/Dictionary and changed to English: UK language.
2. Once the document is opened:
- I have changed all the paragraph styles (Advanced Character Formats) to English: UK language;
- I have no Character Styles so nothing to change there;
- I have gone to Edit/Spelling/User Dictionary and changed language to English: UK.
When I open Edit/Spelling/Check Spelling, the language is set to English: UK. But when I start to spell check, it doesn't pick up any of the words that I know need changing for UK English (i.e., programme, not program)!
Help! What else can I do?

The Australian dictionary is just the British Dictionary renamed, it doesn't recognise any Aussie words that aren't included in the British version.
Don't know why Apple even bothered except to pat us on the head and pretend they cared.
Languages btw are applied like any other style like bold or color or font. You select the text you want to be something and apply the Language.

Spell Check is not working, still......

Another long time user that has been with you for years has had enough, over to Opera where I can write an email without looking like an unprofessional  dummy that can't even use spell checker.
Linux mint 14, fully updated, two different pc's both same problem with spellchecker, this problem has been going on for a long time now. Do you really expect people to use a browser without a spellcheck? This has been a 'bug' for how long now? People just go elsewhere, why wouldn't you, try running a business and sending people sketchy looking emails.
I fix PC's for a living, I used to put everybody onto Thunderbird and Firefox, do you think I still do that? Obviously like the people I know who do the same thing for a living, I put them onto Chrome so they don't ring me complaining that it doesn't work properly.
You guys are loosing market share for a reason, we need a functional non bloated browser that doesn't freeze and crash all the time,  forget the fancy add-ons and themes, make the  basics work because from the techiest person to the most useless pleb luddite, we all need the basics to work or the browser is a useless piece of  crap.
This site is proof of how you are alienating people too, I go to register and it tells me I don't need to register for a new question, I click on that and half way through it asks me to register, then when registering it took about 6 tries for your javascript to accept it: "username too short", "password is short", "username exists". Tell us before ffs! I nearly gave up and shut the window. Anybody unfamiliar with pc's would have given up after a try or two and gone back to IE.
Please, please, get your  stuff together, I love Mozilla and I love Firefox, it's named after my favourite baddies in the original Donkey Kong, ffs, I love you guys, get back to basics and make a functional browser that people prefer to IE, you are killing it, get back to basics and make it FUNCTIONAL

I had this problem too, spell check stopped working, I presume after an update. The solution is to add a dictionary, which you can by going to
[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/language-tools/ Firefox language Tools]
Though why this link is not on the same option tab as the spell check checkbox is beyond me. It appears that if your locale is US, Firefox is supposed to load the US dictionary, otherwise none. Pretty dumb, eh?

System-wide Spell Checker Error

I newly installed Leopard on a MacBook Pro, and now in Mail, Safari and iTunes, I get a "Couldn't contact Spell Checker" error message when I try to type in these programs. The problem disappears in Mail if I set Spell Check to never in the preferences. Safari & iTunes don't have that option, that I could see.
But that's besides the point. Spell check should be seamless and automatic. The error doesn't just occur once. It basically hangs the program because the error cycles continuously and I have to force-quit to get out of the application.
So now I am using Firefox to type this because Safari wouldn't let me type without letting me know it can't contact spell checker.
To remedy the situation, I've verified and repaired permissions, although I did not see any permissions that related to this issue. I downloaded and re-installed the 10.5.1 update. No effect. I've spotlighted 'spell checker' and only gotten the .dll file from Windows as a return.
Guesses, anyone?

etresoft, thanks for the hint. I looked and found tons of stuff, but not a thing to do with the spell checker error. I did log into another profile on the affected machine and had no trouble whatsoever. Does that mean the problem is in my home/library? I think, hopefully logically, that there's another program causing this issue. What would be the logical way to approach this?

Mail Spell Check Needs a LOT of Work

How do we get Apple to make major improvements to their MAIL Program? I love the program and it's ease of use, but the SPELL CHECK adn GRAMMAR CHECK leaves a lot to be disired. I will NEVER say that Outlook is a better mail program BUT it does a superior job in handling these two functions.
This has cause me infinite problems as I always do NOT have time to go back and FIX what Apple has changed.
Presently I use my MacBookPro and my Mac Pro, and both have the problem. I just upgradedto Mountain Lion on my Notebook and it is no better.

Acrobat 9 Professional - Adding Spell Check before Printing

Hello,
As a new user and unfamiliar with how to manipulate Acrobat, please help me with setting up a form that automatically detects and alerts the user of spelling errors prior to printing or emailing. The form will be distributed to about 200 users so all settings may not all be automatically set in Adobe (e.g. spell checker box checked in preferences) among each user's Reader copy. But the idea is to make sure this form is completed without spelling errors, so how could the form be programmed for any or all of the following :
1) The spell checking in preferences is automatically set to "checked" upon opening the form.
2) The form has a PRINT and EMAIL button within it already. How would a script or whatever look like to first spell check the entire document prior to executing the print or email function?
3) Could a pop-up window be added to alert of spelling errors during the previous process (#2)?
Thank you.

What type of form are you using? Is it an AcroForm or a Designer XFA form?
