Spell Check Help

Is there a way for Pages to recognize accidental doubled spaces within spell check?

Joseph,
As you probably know, the Find tool is good at locating, and replacing, the accidental double-space.

Spell checker help, PLEASE

I have a MacBook Pro Unibody with OSX 10.6.8, and my spell checking system went away. I also have cocoAspell 2.1 installed too. Neither one is working. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but what I REALLY LIKES was having all of my misspelled words and grammatical errors show up with a red line underneath them. That's the way it used to be. The red lines showed up in Word, Mail, or any other text entry application. I tried re-installing cocAspell and still nothing. When I control-click on a text entry fiels the MANUAL spell checker window opens up, but it's blank and catches nothing. Help - I don't knonw what I'm doing wrong, and my spelling *****! It's embarrassing. I need advice on finding a fix, whether it's in OSX or an inexpensive 3rd party spell checker (I can't find any under $35)
Thanks for Any help you can provide.

Open Safari in iPhone, and open a new browser (very important!). Now tap the Google search field and start typing the word you want to add to the dictionary. Tap “Google” button to launch the search. Now you can close Safari, and the word should be in your dictionary.

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

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.

Help me turn off the spell checker

The iApps are usually so intuitive but for some reason I simply can't find a way to turn off the extremely annoying spell checker in Keynote. Not only do I strenuously object to being second-guessed on my spelling by a piece of software, I also get very angry when it tries to foist US English spellings on me when I'm not an American and my system is set up for international English. What's next, an animated paperclip??
Can someone please help me switch it off (Keynote 06)...?

Thanks Kyn, don't know how I missed that...
The remaining issue is the choice of spelling dictionary - I still can't work out how a user with international or UK English settings is being prompted to use US spellings in place of correct English spellings.

I'm trying to help a person in Sweden, who presumably has a Swedish version of Firefox, and needs an English spell checker. How can this be accomplished?

The person is Swedish, so it makes sense to have the Swedish version, but she is contributing to Wikipedia, and making a number of spelling errors. I am trying to help her, so that she can optionally turn on an English spellchecker. I see how to add other language packs to my version, so it may be that she has to look for the comparable page on her browser? If that works and she installs a language pack, how does one turn it on or off? She is a self-confessed computer illiterate, so I would like to give her precise advice.

*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"
You can look here for dictionaries:

Help I want to turn on spell check!

I have the new bold and I can't find where to turn on spell check !

From the User's Manual
Change options for checking spelling
You can change the type and length of words that the spelling checker includes when checking spelling.
1. On the Home screen or in a folder, click the Options ICON.
2. Click Spell Check.
3. Change one or more options.
4. Press the Menu key.
5. Click Save.
BTW, the Options Icon looks like a wrench.
Other than this I don't know what to tell you. Maybe take your unit back to the store and see if they can help. Good Luck.

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.

I have not been able to activate spell checker in my new installation, help.

I have installed the newest available version of Thunderbird by automatic download. I cannot activate the spell checker. All the apparent steps have been completed; however, there are no flags as I write and no response when I ask for check at the end of a line or message.
Any ideas beyond the basic activation instructions?

Thank you!

PLEASE HELP-Is there a way to spell check footnotes in indesign cs2 separately

Is there a way to spell check footnotes in indesign or in incopy cs2 separately?

Select all the text - not in the footnotes - but in your normal text frames.
Then go to Window>Type and Tables>Character
Change the Language to No Language
Then run your spell check. It will only check the spelling in your Footnotes now.
When done, change the language back to whatever your usual dictionary language should be. (note it may still check text inside tables - so you might have to put up with that?)
Anyone know of a way to script changing all the text bar footnotes to No Language - run a spell check - then reset the text language back?
( you don't want to hear the other crazy ideas I had for this one !)

Pages 08 - Spell check as you type has stopped working

Hi,
My Pages 08, which is ticked to 'check spelling whilst typing' is no longer checking spelling as I type.
It was working fine yesterday, but has stopped today.
Moreover, it's not even spell checking when I ask it to do it manually.
Can anyone help?
Regards,

I didn't install the British English language on my machines so I can't check the behavior of Pages when this language is the first one.
Here is the brute force way describer for the Blank template used in WP mode.
It would be the same for others.
ctrl click the Pages.app icon
show package's contents
open Contents
open Resources
open Templates
open Blank
ctrl click Blank.template
duplicate index-iso.xml.gz or index-trad.xml.gz in a safe area (folder named Pages-Blank-template ).
double click index-iso.xml.gz or index-trad.xml.gz
You will get index-iso.xml or index-trad.xml
Open it with TextEdit or TextWrangler for instance.
Search for
<sf:language><sf:null/></sf:language>
Replace all occurences by
<sf:language><sf:string sfa:string="en_GB"/></sf:language>
save index-iso.xml or index-trad.xml
for English, the replacement string would be:
<sf:language><sf:string sfa:string="en"/></sf:language>
for French it would be:
<sf:language><sf:string sfa:string="fr"/></sf:language>
for Spanish it would be:
<sf:language><sf:string sfa:string="sp"/></sf:language>
The next time you will use this template, it will default to British English everywhere.
