Spell check looks at settings

The spell checker in Thunderbird -- I am using their English/United States dictionary -- checks all the e-mail settings (e.g., font) in addition to the message I write. How can prevent this from happening?

Auto correct is making me look like an idiot. I have to go back and psychically spell check my documents now. Is there any way to disable it?

Auto correct on my desktop Mac is making me look like an idiot. After I type it's changing words into other words I never typed and it even pushes words together that I'd typed a space in between in order to create new words that I never typed which make absolutley no sense.
Now after I type a document I have to go back and psychically spell check my entire document the old fashioned way to make sure auto-correct isn't making me look like a clown who can't spell.
Is there any way to disable "auto correct" on the desktop MAC and still keep spell check running?
The amount of messages I've sent out with horribly misspselled words or errrors as a result is maddening.
HELP!!!
Running OSX 10.9.1

I had turned off auto-correct in the keyboard preferences, but in Mail all my spelling and grammer choices were grayed out. The key for me — as Kingoftypos points out — was "For Mail, open a new message/reply/forward. Then go to the Edit menu and scroll down to the Spelling/Grammar."
It would never have occurred to me to open a new message to be able to change the settings.
Thanks, King

Spell Checker is not working although it's enabled in the Settings and I've already installed the dictionary

I'm using the 3.6.10 version of firefox
Mac OSX 10.5.8
the spell checker is not working correctly although all the settings needed are correct,
the dictionary's installed, the Spell checking is enabled from the “Browsing” section of “General” tab under “Advanced” heading .
but still it only underlines the misspelld words without giving me the probabilities of the right word .
this problem started to appear after I updated my browser version .
additionaly there is no "Add dictionary" or anything related to spell checking when I right-click the writing area .

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]

The sound no longer works in my husband's iPad and it keeps shutting itself down. This started today. We checked all the settings and everything looks right. Is there something we might be missing?

Try a reset first: Press and hold both Sleep/Wake and Home buttons until the Apple logo appears.
If the reset doesn't fix it, try a restore:

Writing in pages in Afrikaans. Spellcheck keep on correcting to dutch. Switched off spell check and checkeed keyaboard settings. Where do I get languages other than what Apple offer and where is the dictionary, Library, spelling files.

Writing in pages in Afrikaans. Spellcheck keep on correcting to dutch. Switched off spell check and also looked in System preferences - keyboard. this stops the "Auto-correct" but does not help me with Afrikaans or other language spell check. Where do I get languages other than what Apple offer and where is the dictionary, Library, spelling files.

You are basically limited to what Apple deigns to offer.
Try LibreOffice [free] which has a huge selection of languages.

RH7 - Spell Checker and Smart Index Wizard looking in all folders?

Hi all,
RE: RH7 - Spell Checker and the Smart Index Wizard looking in all folders instead of just TOC topics?
While running the Spell Checker and the Smart Index Wizard I am getting the impression they are looking in *all* the folders under the Project Files folder, and not just the topics I have chosen to insert into my TOC. Is this true? If so, is it possible to set RH so that it only looks in TOC topics?
TIA
- avraham

Hi Peter -
Thanks for your reply. Yes, the pop-up topics are in the same
folders as the other topics and I am choosing "Any Status" (right
now all of the topics in the project are the same status anyway).
What's even stranger is that after I posted my original
message, I found that it picked up about five of my 100 or so
pop-up topics, yet ignored the rest. I cannot find ANYTHING about
these included topics that differs from the ignored topics.
Bizarre.
Since I need to move forward ASAP, I am now going through
each pop-up topic individually and using the Smart Index option on
the Topic Properties Index tab. It works just fine; is just
time-consuming, but actually may end up saving me time on the Index
in the long-run, since I can define which keywords Robo adds to
each topic on the front-end (not have to prune out worthless
entries later).
My guess is that this issue may have to do with the
conversion of the files from RH 5 to RH 6. It shouldn't - all of
the pop-up topics were added after I converted to RH 6, but I've
noticed odd things can happen when you bring a project into a newer
version of the program.
Thanks again, Peter.
I don't have an answer but I have a workaround that
I can live with!

How do I spell check a signature once I've created it in settings?

I've created and saved the signature but it underlines my street and city. I don't know how to spell check it so I can make those go away.

If you have spelled all the words correctly then you can ignore this underlining because not all street names and city names are in the spell checking dictionary.
If you use such words frequently then you can add them to the dictionary via the right-click context menu (Add to Dictionary)

Looking for spell check solution with IE8 and apex 4.1

Hello: The most recent solution I find to implement spell check in IE8 and APEX is 2 years old - here: http://mattball.wordpress.com/2010/06/07/apex-spell-checker/
It shows how to integrate Jspell with apex. I will likely try the JSpell Evolution since it gives the little squiggle. Does anyone have success with this or another solution? Does it work within tabular forms?
Thanks, Hawk

Were you able to get JSpell installed? I am stuck in the same boat - I need a spell checker. The documentation is 2+ years old and on an Oracle 10.1.x database.
I am running Oracle 11g on a Linux installation with APEX 4.1
And I had to reinstall the OS on my development machine because when I installed IE Spell as a test, it installed some MALWARE at the same time. So that isn't even an option.
Has anyone tried any other spell checkers now that Oracle has deprecated spell checking in the Rich Text Editor for 4.1? Even Google Toolbar's spell check doesn't work with CKEDitor 3 as it has been implemented with APEX. On a standard CKEditor (outside of APEX), it works great but not within APEX (thanks Oracle!!)
Please advise.

Mail spell check goes through the ENTIRE email looking for misspellings

Is there anyway when you use spell check in mail that it won't go through the ENTIRE message and just use the part that you have typed. Example: When you respond to an email from someone it spell checks their email as well. Any suggestions?

Hi,
In Preferences under "Composing" you could check "Check Spelling as I type". that will hold it in your reply only. You can either correct it right away (it gets underlined), or wait till later and do them all at the same time by going to Edit> Spelling> Check Spelling ( or the Command-semi-colon keys hit together) they will come up one-by-one for correction.
This is about the easiest way to do it.
Enjoy

Trying to spell check email, I get this: "This language is no longer available for spell checking.

Firefox does automatically check my emails like it does when I use Word Perfect. When I select spell check, I get this message: "This language is no longer available for spell checking. Please check another in the spelling options box."
When I click on the spelling options box, I get the same message. I have never changed any settings as regards to spell checking

Which language is selected if you check that via the right-click context menu > Languages in a text area?
Is that dictionary still installed and enabled?

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?

Certain files don't spell check

Hello I've encountered an odd situation.
I have a few files that were created by the same user that don't turn up spelling mistakes in any words ("asdf" for example)
The spell check opens, looks like it's running, but doesn't find any errors. I have also turned on dynamic spell check, and it does not underline anything.
From information found elsewhere, I checked language settings, and scope settings, and they are both set properly (english and whole document, respectively)
If I create a new file on the same workstation, it spell checks fine. If I create a new text area on the problem file with identically errored text, it does not pick up the errors.
I have exported to and imported from the transfer format, but get the same results.
What other solutions could I look to next?
please let me know if there is any additional information I can provide!

Select the suspect text and look in the Control panel or Character panel. What is the language of the selected text? If it is No Language, then there is no dictionary for InDesign to check the spelling against.

CS6 Spell Check flags every word.

Hello,
My ID has recently started flagging every word when doing spell check. I uninstalled and reinstalled but it's still doing it. I have tried turning on and off preferences and selecting different vendor dictionaries but no luck. I have no clue how to create a new dictionary or to select a different one. If I try to "relink" the current one everything is grayed out. Please help! I'm spending so much time trying to research this and getting nowhere! Thanks!

This is a common point of confusion for many users (including me for a few years). The Dictionary settings in your presfs have nothing to do with spell checking directly. What they are is a means for you to choose which dictionary to use for each language, if more than one dictionary happens to be installed for that language. that dictionary is then used to decide if words are spelled correctly and to set hyphenation rules, but the language is actually set at the character level, as Manish mentioned above.
ID looks at the language assigned to the text, then uses the dictionary assigned by your prefs to do the checking. If the assigned language doesn't match the actual language, most words will inevitably be considered misspelled. If you, for example have an English localized version of ID, but mostly type in French, you probably would want to set French as the default language. To do that you would set it from the language dropdown in either the Character or Control panel with no files open, and it will be effective for all new work.
Existing files are more of a problem. You can reset the default for each document in the same way, but exiting text will retain whatever language is currently assigned, whether is it is correct or not. You can use Find/Change to reassign any language you like to the entire document on a language-by-language basis by choosing the language that is mis-assigned in the Advanced Character Formatting section for the Find Format settings and then choosing the correct language in the Change Formatting section. For that you don't need to enter anything at all in either the find or change fileds in the dialog. Te assign a single language to all the text in a file, regardless of how many languages may be in use, enter .+ in the GREP find field, then set the language of your choice in the change Formatting as above. As long as something is entered into the Change Formatting section, you can leave the change field itself blank. Although the text won't change when you reassign a language, if may reflow. This is due to different hyphenation rules among the various languages.
Though we often suggest replacing preferences here when things misbehave, this is one situation where it may actually make things worse. If you set a custom language different from your localization, resetting the prefs would remove that special language and you'll have to re-enter it manually.

How Do I Get Spell Checker to Flag Words with Numbers?

Hi,
I cannot find any articles on this, so sorry if it's already been answered elsewhere.
I sometimes accidentally hit a number key when typing words like "you"--so that it becomes "y9ou". The Firefox built-in spell checker does not flag this as a misspelling.
In other programs there is a check box to allow this or not, but I cannot find one for Firefox. I do not use words with numbers very often, except something like W2, so I would prefer those get flagged instead of ones that are wrong like y9ou or w3ere that I make frequently.
Any help on this?
Thanks!
Don :)

Hi, Again,
Thanks for the info. And for a quick reply. ;-)
I checked my current cop0y of LibreOffice (I replaced OpenOffice.org with it several months ago). LibreOffice uses Hunspell as well. I had not checked the boxes to check words with numbers or all-caps as I had previously done in OpenOffice.org, so for all this time I have been thinking it would flag errors in those when it wasn't. Must have made LOTS of mistakes I didn't catch in that time. ;-(
In LibreOffice, go to Tools => Options => Languages => Writing Aids. You can choose to enable spelling and grammar checking (not sure what the grammar checker oes, since it was already enabled but I have never seen any evidence of it). The below that is a section of checkboxes where you can specify what is and is not flagged by the spell checker. I checked the words with numbers and capital letters choices. So now it will catch all the acronyms I haven't added to the spell checker dictionary.
I was looking for the same sort of choice in Firefox but didn't see it. Perhaps there is an API in Hnnspell the Firefox developers can use to add this choice as a checkbox, the way it is in LibreOffice.
I realize this may be perceived as a low priority, but I would certainly appreciate seeing it in a future update of Firefox. At least making this post helped me get the settings i wanted in my word processor.
Take care and God bless.
Don :)
