Spell check in english in pages doesn't work

I've recently purchased Pages for my imac. The spell check is still recognising the American spellings rather than English e.g. recognize rather than recoginse and color rather than colour. I have opened the Inspector>Text>More and checked that the language says British English but it still picks up on American Spellings. My language is set to British English within the settings on the computer. What else can I try or is it a glitch in Pages?

You have to set the system preferences to British English. For americans American english is English!!!!
System preferences > Language and text > Language > Edit list > check British English > Ok. Make sure that B.E. is at the top of the list if you have more than one language there.
Log out and in again in your account. Open Pages and check that the default language is B.E.

Hi, can someone please tell me why the spell check in pages doesn't work. I went to preferences and enabled this auto spell checker and have set the language to british english. But still it doesn't work while it works perfectly in TextEdit.

Inspector > Text > More > Language
Only applies to selected text, like making it a particular font.
It is not a setting that sticks. If you continue to paste in text from elsewhere particularly the Internet it will have a different or None language set to it. You need to select it and make it B.E.

Is there a spell check function in iCloud pages? Doesn't seem to be.

How can I adjust my Pages spell checker for English as opposed to American spelling?

Use the Inspector palette > T tab > Tabs. You can write the fraction number. Clicking on the arrow button has 1 cm increments which isn'r helpful for us using centimetres instead of inches.

Your More system details list show that you run the latest Firefox 4.0.1 version.<br />
You can check that via Help > About Firefox and on the Help > Troubleshooting Information page.
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

Return the User to the Calling Page - doesn't work

Hello All,
I set up the "Issue tracker" tutorial to get in tuch with the apex (htmldb vers. 2.0)
All is working well but: Return the User to the Calling Page -> doesn't work. I performed all steps as descriped in the tutorial (iclusive the '.' on the &P7_PREV_PAGE ;-) ).
I use my own aplication at home and followed all the instruction steps few times but it does not work. Can you help me please?
Do I have to install something more?
In the Branch section: * 1: Go To Page &P7_PREV_PAGE. (Unconditional)
In the Item section: 90: P7_PREV_PAGE Hidden
In the Button section for cancel Button: &P7_PREV_PAGE.
Here is the description of the function in the tutorial:
Because this Create/Edit page will be called from several places, when users finish with the display they should return to the calling page. To accomplish this, you create an item and change the branch on this page. Every time this page is called, the item must be set with the number of the calling page.
To create a hidden item:
1. Under Items, click the Create icon.
2. For Select Item Type, select Hidden and click Next.
3. For Display Position and Name:
1. For Item Name, enter:
P7_PREV_PAGE
2. For Region, select Issue Identification.
3. Click Next.
4.
Click Create Item.
Next, edit the Cancel button.
5. Under Buttons, select Cancel.
6. Scroll down to Optional URL Redirect.
7. In Page, enter:
&P7_PREV_PAGE.
Note the period at the end.
8. Click Apply Changes.
Next, edit the branch.
9. Under Action, enter the following in Page:
&P7_PREV_PAGE.
10. Click Apply Changes.
All steps are done but I still got the message: Error ERR-1016 Application "106" Page "0" not found (requested language="de")
OK
I move the mousepointer over the cancel button: javascript:redirect('f?p=106:0:5265993428922076876::NO:::')
Thank you for helping me!
best regards Thorsten

All,
I haven't looked at that tutorial for quite a while but just gave it a quick look.
Further down in the tutorial, it directs you to set the value of P7_PREV_PAGE, under Add Functionality to Support Adding Multiple Issues Sequentially - have you done that? There is also a mention that there is more branching to be done - "The branch you just created is looking for a value in P7_PREV_PAGE. Since the page was not called from another page, the value has not been set. You need to fix that next." It goes on to have you define that value from other places.
Can you describe what you are doing when you get the error? There could be something missing from the tutorial. A way around it would be to create a default value for P7_PREV_PAGE so that if it is not set, a default page will be used.

Scrolling page doesn't work in "Fit one full page to window" view

Scrolling page doesn't work in “Fit one full page to window” view
it is still not working in V11.0.10 is there a new fix?

Not sure exactly what you mean. It may be that you have continuous view activated, rather than the page view.

I have mozilla on Mac os x, The "Back" function for to go back at a previous page doesn't work. WHY?

I have mozilla on Mac os x for about 8 months. The "Back" function, to go back on a previous page doesn't work, the "Back" arrow remains grey coloured, so it can't be pressed like when it's black coloured. It gets you tired to reopen pages all the time. WHY does this happen?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I first downloaded mozilla.

Go here to download Firefox 3.6:

Switch iPad to spell check uk english for crying out loud

Started with simple document created on iPad2 using Pages 1.6 (504) - noticed spell check default is US English (eg summarize) but I need UK English.
Went through all the settings in iOS Pages to try to switch - no luck.
Went to my iMac, Safari, iCloud, pulled down document, (incidentally noticed it had a problem with missing font despite fact that I'm using defaults throughout), opened in Pages '09 v4.1 (923) selected all, went to inspector, changed to UK English, saved.
Uploaded document to iCloud/iWork - selected 'replace' when given option.
Went back to iPad. Noticed Pages documents had not refreshed. Shut down iPad. Re-started. Selected document, opened, and magically it had reverted to US spelling. Also now has a problem with missing font Calibri - in fact I don't give a tinker's cuss which font it uses, I simply want it to spell in vernacular.
Repeat all of above. Confirmed document when opened on iMac had indeed kept UK spelling, ie problem has something to do with iPad settings.
All-in-all wasted an hour. So much for iCloud/iWork. iGiveUp.
Any ideas?

what's not clear is which keyboard is active since there's no indication.
You can make it clear by holding down the "globe" key and choosing what you want from the list. Or how about deleting the keyboard which does not say English (UK).
Spellcheck normally follows the keyboard on iOS devices and what app you are using is irrelevant.

Is there a way to make the spell check work on the entire web page without making the content editable? Or at least those boxes that appear when you enable spell check on the entire page, can you make them disappear?

I found an addon that allows you to spell check on the webpage but it make the entire page editable and these boxes appear on everything i highlight. Can i get rid of the boxes?

I had thought this situation was solved but it just got worse. In addition to being without service for several days I am now being charged a cancellation fee for a broadband service that BT disconnected in error. BT Vision was also terminated by BT but the set up charges are still in place. Does anyone know who the relevant Ombudsman is? I called BT from America on Friday - for an hour - while someone called Aruj sorted out why there is an order 'in progress' that I didn't initiate; why I have fees relating to a problem created by BT and why there are references to a house move that didn't take place and a BT Vision service I no longer have but didn't cancel myself. He assured me it would be rectified and my bill would be reduced by 139 pounds and we would get confirmation of this later that day. I asked him what chance there was that this would not actually happen - he said no chance at all; my new bill would be 23.50.
There was no text message. An online chat person today told me there had been a fee reduction request which had been declined and there was nothing else he could help me with as he dealt only with broadband. But he would get BT Vision to email me. They always seem so helpful.............
I'm sure I'm listed somewhere as 'a problem', there's no other explanation for why I get the runaround

Where is a spell checker in english

where is the spell checker in pages? and keynote

Nothing to do with Pages as such. Turn it on in settings > general > keyboard. Language follows the keyboard being used.

TS3276 Spell checker on Mail and Pages not working.

I have lost the capacity to check spelling on all Apple programs. I deleted Mac Keeper as I read this had caused the problem, but still no spell checker. Can anyone assist?

Hey Vic,
If the problem was indeed with MacKeeper, then you might need to reinstall your OS. Assuming you've got a good backup, it should be pretty easy to do—either redownload the software from the Mac App Store and follow the instructions (if you upgraded) or boot into Recovery Mode and do it from there.
If I were you, I'd probably do a little sleuthing first. If you go into System Preferences> Language & Text, does everything seem to be configured properly? Is English the top language under the "Language" tab? Under the "Text" tab, is "Spelling" toggled to "Automatic by Language"? If you misspell a word in Mail and press Command-; (the shortcut for Edit> Spelling and Grammar> Check Document Now), does anything happen?
If everything seems OK, I'd probably just reinstall.
