Spell Check in "Pages" not working

I read a few posts, made sure my language was set (not void of one)... still doesn't work!

As far as I know, the spell checker is not delivered by Pages but by the operating system.
Only the hyphenation.dat resource file is delvered by Pages.
If I try to check a French text with the spell checker set on French, it works.
If I try to check an English text with the spell checker set on English, it works.
I grabbed on the Web a piece of text in Português do Brasil and tested the Português do Brasil spell checker.
The result is:
+" o amor? Nasce não sei onde, vem não sei como, e dõi não sei porque..."+
+" a razão comanda meus actos, mas o amor conduz a minha vida "+
+" é facil beijar a boca, dificil é chegar ao coração!"+
+" o melhor beijo, é o beijo desejado+
+o beijo que me completa+
+o beijo da minha forma adequada+
+o beijo com sabor do desejo+
+na flor da minha pele+
+o beijo da minha vontade+
+o beijo que faz meu pensamento+
+o beijo que faz a minha boca e o meu corpo+
+querer um novo beijo por outra vez "+
+"ate quando vamos ficar sem se ver?+
+ate quando vou conseguir viver sem você?+
+ate quando a distancia vai nos separar?+
+ate quando essa saudade eu vou ter que aguentar "+
It seems that it works correctly (Mac OS 10.5.4)

  • [SOLVED] Spell Check on KDE4 not working.

    So, I have Spell check enabled in systemsettings->locale. Further, I have enchant installed as well. However, spell check does not work on any application inside KDE (blogila, kword, kate etc). Am I missing any package?
    EDIT: Please ignore. Fixed it. I was missing the ispell package.

    In some sense, mount points are arbitrary -- you can mount a partition at /mnt/efi, at /boot/efi, at /Volumes/fred, at /some/weird/place, or whatever. There are a few limits on this based on certain critical directories -- for instance, attempting to mount anything at /etc is likely to lead to pain. Likewise, if a partition holds critical system files, it may need to be mounted at a particular location to do any good. For instance, if you split /var off onto its own partition, you'd want to mount that partition at /var (except perhaps for some very rare maintenance tasks). For the ESP, though, you can mount it just about anywhere -- under either Linux or OS X. The most common mount point in Linux is /boot/efi, followed in popularity by /boot. AFAIK, there's nothing remotely resembling a "standard" mount point for the ESP in OS X.
    Speaking to your broader issue, tohben, I think you'll find this much easier if you download the official rEFInd binary .zip file from the rEFInd download page and run the install.sh script from OS X. That will do the installation for you. It's probably best to install it to the OS X root partition rather than to the ESP, because some users have problems with ~30-second delays when starting rEFInd from the ESP, but normally not when started from an HFS+ volume. (The default behavior of install.sh under OS X is to install to the OS X root partition; to install to the ESP, you must add the --esp option.) If you want rEFInd to read your Linux filesystems, you can add the --alldrivers option to install.sh to install drivers; or you can manually install only the driver(s) you need.

  • Spell Check in Mail not working

    I'm back.  Still no luck getting spell check to work.  With all the things I've tried, I'm sure it is now isolated to a operating system based problem.  The spell check on InDesign works, but mac mail, text edit, and Open Office.org which all access the OS based spelling function don't work.  Not only will they not do dynamic spelling, you can't highlight and tell any of these programs to check the spelling.  That doesn't work either. 
    I am running 10.6.8 on an iMAC 27" that is three years old.  I have kept up with my updates as they have come available, and my 3 year warranty just ran out in Nov. this year.  I would like to figure out how to fix this without having to wipe the hard drive or anything else that is so radical it might take me days to restore all my functionality.
    Any suggestions?  Run the utilities and repaired permissions, restarted holding down the shift, etc. and nothing has helped.
    thanks,
    Kathy

    Kathy, had same problem -- here is what I found just now by running tests:
    Ok, what is going on is that the preferences for spelling and grammar in word and mail seem not to be working…..
    in mail preferences there is no oportunity to set preference re spelling and grammar.  I can't find it in apple preferences either
    You have to do it manually --- so if mispelled words in EMAIL YOU GO TO EDIT, SPELLING AND GRAMMAR:
    if you check grammar with spelling -- all you get is red underline.
    if you CHECK  check before sending nothing happens
    If you check  ----check spelling and grammar (which seems to be the default)  nothing happens
    BUT IF YOU CHECK   show spelling and grammar, you get the red underline and correction box
    IN WORD, there is spelling preferences --- i chose : check spelling as type, suggest corrections, check grammar with spelling.
    IF I go back to check preferences, they are changed for example if i had chosen check spelling while typing, when i go back it is unchosen
    So with a document----- (before going back to preferences) ,only mispelled words are underlined red. BUT  if then you go to tools, spelling and grammar --- you get the box right away
    i did this research before checking directions on web  see    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH6911
    Which for me would take copying the article, double space, under key words  AND THEN MAYBE i could understand it --
    i have no idea if it correlates to actual testing above.

  • Spell check ticked but not working

    I have set the spell check to check emails as I write them (via Tools, Options, Spelling) but it just isn't working (my friends are getting some very odd emails due to my typing errors!) Am I missing something? Any help would be appreciated

    Looked again and found the UK English dictionary ! Not having a good day - I blame this warm weather - not used to it in the UK!!

  • Spell check and autocorrect not working

    I have them both turned on, but they aren't working. No corrections and no red lines.

    I have never done that but I do think that it will reset all of your preferences back to factory defaults. I'm not sure if you have to enter the WiFi settings or passcode again.
    The preferences are things like the keyboard dictionary, the brightness level, the auto correct and spell check. I think that it is a relatively benign thing to do.
    I copied this from How to reset iPad Settings - for Dummies

    Life may not have a reset feature, but iPads do. If, for some reason, you want to return your iPad to its default settings, you can reset them. The last item under iPad's General settings is Reset. When you click it, you get options for resetting the following:

  • Spell Check and Proofreading not working

    When typing, spell check doesn't underline words that are spelled incorrectiy. And proofreading doesn't underline grammaticaly incorrect things. I've typed words incorrectly to see if it would underline, and it doesn't. When i actually open the spell check window, it still doesn't say anything is wrong. This is a problem across my whole Mac, so it might be something with the OS. As im typing this when i spell "incorectly" it doesn't change it to "incorrectly". And help/suggestions?

    I am not sure if you all are following this post anymore, but in case you are, here is a solution.
    With the Inspector open:
    Select All (the entire document)
    Within Inspector click: TEXT > MORE
    About 3/4 down the Inspector window should be "Language." Change the Language to English (or whatever you need).  You may have to change everything to "None" first and then back to English.  Somehtimes this Language feature can get changed accidentally if you copy and paste from another document, particually MS Word or GoogleDocs.  It does not always happen, but sometimes it does.  This should fix your problems.

  • 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.

  • Spell checker in Pages for iOS - other than english

    Hello,
    I'm trying to get spell checking in Pages for iOS working in another language besides english. My question is- is spell checker in Pages for iOS evailable in any other language besides english? Because it doesn't seem to be- once I change keyboard to another language (even matching system language), Pages stops underlying errors in that keyboard language.
    Thanks.

    Spellcheck/autocorrect follows the keyboard (system language is irrelevant).  Please tell us what language exactly is not working for you.

  • Pages won't spell check after page 15?!?!

    I have a pages document that will only underline or spell check words before page 15. After that, nothing is underlined or spell checked when right clicked on. Any ideas whats going on or how to fix it?

    I have the same dilemma. The spell checker on pages seriously lacks.
    Also i don't think my proofreader works. When I highlight a word and click proof read, it automatically skips to the next underlined word.
    I'm about to go back to Word.
    -- can't get no satisfaction.

  • I am having trouble with the spell checker in pages.

    I have checked "check spelling while typing" and set the language to British English. However, the language keeps changing back to none and the spell checker still isn't working! Any ideas? I am using a MacBook Air with the latest software. I have checked for updates but there aren't any. Thank you in advance for your help!

    Menu > Apple > System Preferences > Language & Text > Language > Edit List > check British English > OK > drag British English to the top of the list
    It is now your default language.
    The Language in Pages is only for selected text and is applied like a color or font to the text.
    If you paste or drag in text from elsewhere like the Internet, you are dragging in text which has no, or wrong language applied. Either Paste & Match Style or select the unassigned text and apply your language to it.

  • Sluggish Spell Check in Pages

    I tried to do a full-document spell check in Pages (300-page doc), but it was s-o-o-o-o-o sluggish that I copied the whole document into AppleWorks and did the spell check there in a fraction of the time. (I prefer not to use the spellcheck-as-you type feature.) Any thoughts?
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Just answered my own question: When I get out of layout mode, the spell-check moves at a normal (quick) rate.
