Spell check is deleting page

About 2 weeks ago my spell check checked out. If am typing something in Safri and spell check, when I hit "ignore" for names and things it just refreshes the whole page which deletes everything I typed.
so I downloaded the new OS Lion thinking that would solve the problem but it is still doing it. It happened out of no where... I didn't change any settings or anything.
Any ideas?

Spell check works for me.
Does your page contain any text?
Have your tried running spell check in Design View?

Spell checking should be based on the keyboard layout that you've got selected in Settings > General > Keyboard > International Keyboards - if you have an English 'UK keyboard' selected then the spell checking should be English

InDesign cs6 spell check and master pages

I have created a set of master pages for a template in InDesign cs6. When I create a document from this template and apply "spelling", the spell check goes through every master page before moving to the document. How can I stop spell check from going to master pages unless, of course, the master page is highlighted? I have tried locking all master page objects and have also tried selecting the option of not allowing selection of master page locked objects. I have allowed, and disallowed, the override on master page items Nothing seems to work. I would like "spelling" to apply only the pages in the document, or only the selected page in the document.

If you go to Edit>Spelling>Check Spelling
You get a dialog box - the only options are for All Documents, Current Document, Story, To End of Story, or Selection
These are the options for checking spelling, ignore masters is not an option, unfortunately.
But you can select a range of text and use the Selection option to check the spelling.
Hope that helps.

Skip Spell Check on Master Pages

Is there any way in InDesign CS6 to spell check the entire document, but omit the master pages? Sometimes when I run spell check, it only checks the document, but other times includes the master pages. I can't figure out why this happens, but would like to know how I can intentionally omit the master pages when needed.

Spell Checker in OA Page?

Hi All,
I have an requirement to implement the spell check in OA framework Page.
Could anyone tell me whether this is possible?????
Thanks In Advance........

Hello JJ,
Not sure if this will suit, but there are a few browser spell checkers out there. I've seen one called ieSpell but I haven't really used it so can't comment on how good/bad it is.
Google shows 600,000+ hits for +browser +"spell check" so it may be worth trying a few out if this is a viable option for you.

Pages Alert "Couldn't contact Spell Checker."

Out of the clear blue, after much use, Pages 3.0.2 Gives me an Alert "Couldn't contact Spell Checker" and the Spell checker does not work anymore in pages. However, the spell checker woks in all other programs I use. How do I get the spell checker back in pages?
I've cleaned caches and repaired permissions and no change. English is the language being used.
Thanks

This was a frequent topic when iWork '08 was first released. It is related to third-party spell checkers such as SpellCatcher. If they haven't been updated to the newest versions, this error comes up, especially when opening Word documents. If you have SpellCatcher or another spell checker installed, I would just try disabling it first & see if the problem goes away. If it doesn't, do a Spotlight search for "spell" & see what comes up. Trash anything that looks like it belongs to a third-party spell checker & restart your Mac.
But I don't think that's the problem you're experiencing. I've seen several users here with the problem of the spell checker not working in Pages. All of them were fixed by deleting the com.apple.iwork.pages.plist found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences & then restarting Pages.

Spell check function in my iworks pages does not work, how do I fix this?

I have a new IMac (intel) and I am struggling learning to use the ipage part of the iwork suite. There does not appear to be a spell check feature working, since I'm trying to create some new documents, this is a real hassle. And does anyone know how to do a cut and paste of images from the web. I'm doing a presentation, have permission to use the photos and can't get it to work!! sigh I beginning to think I should have paid the xtra bucks and bought the window suite version, at least I know where they hid the bells and whistles in that one.
Thanks any help would be greatly appreciated.

Greetings,
For questions on Pages post in the Pages forum: https://discussions.apple.com/community/iwork/pages
-- You can read about the various spell check features in Pages by typing in the word "spelling" in the Pages help menu. This entry should get Spell check up and running for you: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Pages/4.0/en/sl150c96ab.html
If there is an image on a website you want to use locally on your computer usually just dragging the image from the web page anywhere on your desktop is enough to copy the image. You can then drag the image from the desktop anywhere you want.
Alternatively you can right-click (or hold down the control key and regular click on the image) on the image and then choose "Copy Image. You can then perform an Edit > Paste into a Pages document for example.
Hope that helps.

Spell check pages other languages

How can I change the spell check in the PAGES app in my IPAD?
My IPAD is in english and I write in english and portuguese.
Thanks.

Spell check is supposed to follow the keyboard, but Pages has a bug and follows the OS user interface language instead.

Is it possible to add languages for spell check in pages?

I was surprised to find that even though I bought iwork 09 in Norwegian, Norwegian is not on the list of languages one can choose from in the inspector, and I can not find the possibility of choosing norwegian spell-chek either??
Is there anyway to add languages to the spell-check function in pages??
grateful for tip (if there is a basic function i have overlooked) or other experiences!
BR

You actually have a choice of both Norsk Nynorsk and Norsk Bokmål.
First select your text then:
+Inspector > Text (T tab) > More > Language > Norsk Nynorsk / Norsk Bokmål+
The method is to label the language you want to spell check with its native dictionary. So having done the above, when you spell check it will now use the Norwegian dictionaries.
see p 115 +Working with Spelling Suggestions+ in the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf downloadable from under the Help menu.
If you don't see the Norwegian options it is because you haven't added them in the International preferences in your System preferences:
+Menu > Finder > System Preferences… > International > Language > Edit List… > Norsk Nynorsk and Norsk Bokmål > OK+
If you drag them to the top of your language list they become the System language. If you leave them lower down they are available in other menus such as Pages Inspector palette.

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.

Can I customize the Spell Checker?

I am new to Pages coming from Office...
In Office, I can customize the Spell Checker to do many things. It will let me have it "auto-correct" any misspellings I commonly make... like if I type "dont" it will automatically change it to "don't".
Does the Mac let you customize the spell checker?

Launch Pages.
Go to the Pages menu then:
Preferences > Auto-correction
Check the Symbol and text substitution checkbox, then check any substitutions you want made and uncheck any you don't want Pages to do for you. You can add other errors you commonly make and their corrections using the + button below the list.
Auto - Correction is discussed on page 113 of the Pages '09 User Guide, a pdf document that you can download using the link in Pages's Help menu. Searchable, generally well written, and loaded with excellent information, it's highly recommended for anyone new to Pages.

Mail spell check hangs on last misspelled word

Hi everybody,
I have a bit of a dilemma that is quite annoying, and I would love it not to be. My spell checker in Mail (OSX 10.4.10) hangs on the last word when spell checking a message. I am able to check my spelling and choose Ignore/Guess/Correct etc. but when it reaches the end of my email it stops. Spell check will identify the misspelled word, but will not allow me to make corrections or ignore the word like it used to. The familiar tone and empty spell check box is no longer to be found.
But this does work in textedit! No problems what so ever. I have tried to scour these forums and tried a few things, but still nothing. I have also noticed this problem occurs in another user account.
I have checked the Ownership and Permissions of the spell checker file, deleted preference files, re-installed Mail by itself, performed an archive and install, completely reinstalled OSX and still nothing.
So now if any of you have an idea please let me know.
Thanks in advance,
Sebastian

You're welcome.
I do not have that checked
Well, you should. Leaving messages on the server indefinitely may end up clogging up your mail account there and cause this kind of problems. Just specify After one week or After one month if you don't want messages to be removed from the server immediately.

Spell check swear words

Is it possible to hide swear words in the spell checker?
Our users are offended by the explicit language appearing in the spell checker proposed words. But they still want swear words to be spell checked, so deletion from the dictionary is not an option.
Microsoft word does this - all swear words do NOT appear in the proposed word list, but the real word is checked and verified to be correct. Can the spell checker be customised?

Just a guess but, maybe the space character is being deleted when the correction is applied. Perhaps entering a space as the last character after correcting the first word?
Be well...
