Spell Check Marks Word with Punctuation as Misspelled

I am working in 5.5 and suddenly my spell check has a bug. If a word is next to an exclamation point or question mark, it flags it as misspelled. It didn't used to do this.

I have this problem, too; and as ~200 people have viewed this, perhaps others do. Can anyone help?

Mac Mail v. 7.1 (1827) spell checker makes spelling suggestions that are MISSPELLED!

I haven't been able to find this anywhere on the web so far, so thought I would post it here.
I am running Mavericks (v10.9.1) on a Mac Book Pro 17" (Early 2011).
When typing in Mac Mail (or Pages, etc.), my auto-spell check frequently makes suggestions that are misspelled. For example, I typed "availabillty", and the auto-checker suggested "AVAILABILTY"(!?!). The correct spelling, of course, being AVAILABILITY.
This has happened several times before, and I just didn't document any of the other misspellings. I will add others, if that makes a difference.
I've tried to find access to the library to make corrections to the internal misspellings, but cannot seem to find and assuming not accessible??
Please help! This is an incredibly annoying problem, making the spell-checking functionality essentially worthless having to stop and "spell-check the spell-checker" everytime.

Pedro,
Thanks, I apprecaite the info, but you did not address my question. The links you provided just explained the basics of spell-checking and how to do things like "learn new words". The do not provide any "information regarding what I'm trying to accomplish".
Perhaps I didn't explain my problem clearly enough: My problem is there are INCORRECT suggestions being made by the Apple spell-checker (or whatever library it's using). In other words, I'm spelling a word correctly, and the auto-spell-checker is suggesting incorrect spellings to my correctly spelled word.
What I'm trying to accomplish is getting misspelled words out of the auto-correction library (and also figure out how they got in there in the first place). Is there a way to edit the existing words in the spell-checking library (not just adding new ones, as the link you provided pointed out).
Thanks,
Dan

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?

Spell Check Marks Correctly Spelled Words

Does anyone have this problem on their iPad? I'm getting correctly spelled words marked with red underline as misspelled. For example I have had the word "that" marked as misspelled. When I click on the word "that", it does not give me an option for the word. I could go on with several examples of common words that are spelled correctly, but the iPad is marking them as misspelled.

Thanks! I'll check this out.
And yes that seems to be the problem. The international button is a toggle that goes through all languages set up on your iPad. I have English, Russian, and Spanish. It seems that I have accidentally toggled to Russian and then when I toggled agin, it went to Spanish, which I thought was English.
So the next question I have is if I have the Spanish keyboard on, does it spell check in Spanish?

Spell Check is Broken - Right Clicking on Misspelled Word Does Nothing

MIsspelled words are marked as incorrect in Safari, but when I right-click or control-click I never get a dialog to correct the misspelling. Spell-check works fine in all other apps, such as Mail. Any ideas? I have the problem on two machines. All have had upgrade installs from Tiger to Leopard.

Hi
When I right-click on a misspelled word (in this case "now") in a text box, this is what my contextual menu looks like.
Do you see these choices?

Problem with spell checker - microsoft word is better in this respect

First, I love Pages, I find it better than Word and will continue to use it. Second, I love the spell checker, and I keep it on as I'm typing. I don't want to change this, except for one small feature that Word does and Pages does not.
When I'm typing a sentence, there are many occasions when I type a word that Pages doesn't have in the dictionary, and thus it changes it to what it thinks I want to type. For example, I typed "Lindberg" and it changed it to "Lundburgh" which I didn't want to happen. Of course, this happens to other words that are not proper nouns.
In Word, if I'm typing a sentence such as "And then Lindberg..." and Word changes it to "Lundburgh," if I simply delete back and re-write "Lindberg" and continue on, Word by default will NOT auto-correct again, and I can continue typing freely.
In Pages, however, if I do the above Pages continues to auto-correct. You must right click and "Ignore" or "Learn" spelling, and that slows me down big time.
So, I think Pages should do this one thing that Word does, and I'll be a happy camper.

So, I think Pages should do this

How do you stop spell checking any "word" that has an underscore in it.

I send lots of email that reference code. Either with snipits, or mentioning variable names or file names etc.
So I would I disable any spell check of any word that has an underscore character as part of it. For example dont_check_this_var.
I specifically am concerned about settings in Outlook

Right click on the word, and select "Ignore all".
To disable spellcheck,
Click the File tab, and then click Options.
Click Mail , and then click Editor Options.
Click to clear the Check spelling as you type check box.
Click to clear the Mark grammar as you type check box.

Spell Check Concatenating Words

I use Adobe Reader X on Windows XP, and whenever two misspelled words are next to each other, the spell check will concatenate them.
For example, if I have what was supposed to be "test trouble" but have "tets troble" and then run spell check, when I correct 'tets' to 'test' and 'troble' to 'trouble', it will put them together as "testtrouble."
Does anyone else have this issue, and are there any plans to correct it?
Thank you,
Michelle

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?

How do you Spell Check w/ Word, Without using webutil?

In our v6 forms we were able to use MS Word's spell check, how can I do this with a 10g form without using webutil?

Jim, thanks for the update. Some of the recent version of Jinitiator have included bug fixes relating to proxies. (though I suppose Support has gone through this with you).
I don't want to confuse the issue here but while Oracle Forms 10g is only certified on certain JVMs etc, we did run some webutil specific certification tests on Sun JDK 1.4.2 and that was ok (but again please cross reference this the Forms client certification since this testing was just and aside for the webutil QA).
If you need this functionality I think it would be worth seeing if a bug can be identified in Jinit and seeing if we can fix that -you may have worked with Support on this already...but as I said, check with the latest Jinit anyway to make sure. (1.3.1.17 or 18 I think off the top of my head)
Thanks

Spell check and word suggestion doesn't work Droid 4

My wife and I both have Motorola Droid 4s. I have had mine for almost a year, and she has had hers just a week. After I factory reset mine to fix a spell check problem, I noticed that the spell check still doesn't automatically fix errors, and there is no word suggestion. Her's is doing the same thing. When I looked for this issue online, I found numerous other Motorola Droid 4 owners having the same problem.
Since we text a LOT, this is certainly a major inconvenience. We would like to know if there is a fix for this issue, is it OS version and phone specific, and when an update/fix can be expected.
Thank you for your time!

Let me know if there is other information I can include. Thanks again!

The settings you gave me are the same as I and my wife have set except for the keyboard and input methods. For us, android is checked but disabled (gray), moto chinese input is checked, and swype is checked but disabled and gray. Same as it was when spell check and suggestions didn't work. Now ours is working but what is really interesting is that we never changed anything since it wasn't working. We just woke up the day after posting this and it was working. Hmm. I left the moto chinese checked because why tempt fate?
Thank you for your reply and information. That fact is, my spell check worked for a year and then suddenly it did not. My wife's didn't even out of the box, then the day after I post, ours works perfect. Coincidence? Who cares. =)

Spell Check not working with the preset dictionary

My CS 6 InDesign on Mac does not make the spell check with the german dictionary and shows every word as unknown or wrong.
In Indesign Version 5.5 and 4 i don't have the problem. What can i do to solve this problem. There seems to be no dictionary in german for cs6 or it has no content.
Thanks for your help.

Spell Checking occasionally works with Pages 3.03 update

I have been experiencing problems with spell checking since the most recent iWork update. If I save an old document as a new file, spell checking for modifications doesn't work. If I create a document from scratch, spell checking works until I paste text from other sources. This is a very strange problem.
I have searched the support forums and have seen many solutions that seem to work for others, but most seem to relate to have multiple Spell Checkers installed or having corrupt preference files. That is not my situation. I would appreciate any insight on this issue.

I have found that my spelling is set to Swedish as default. If I use English in my document, have all styling in set to English spelling check, i still get pasted text to Swedish. I have to select the new text and use the styles or in the Inspector tell it to be spell checked in English. I guess it has to do with which language I use for the System.

Excluding VBA codes from grammar & Spell checker in word 2013

hi Guys
i am learning VBA & i write my notes & my exercises in a word document.
the problem is Grammar & spell checker shows VBA codes as errors.
i don't want to completely disable checker. is there any method or Add-on so that we introduce Correct VBA codes as correct sentences to word 2013 so that it doesn't show them as errors ?
thanks in advanced

i tested it but i noticed an strange behavior. it sometimes works but sometime doesn't. or sometime partially works.
for example i have defined a box as a border around the selected Area. this applies but although i have selected "do not check spelling or grammar" , system again shows spelling & grammar errors as you see in the screenshot. it's seen even
after i reapply style. any further help please?
Your screenshots have far too little resolution to see anything meaningful. I cannot see what Style you're applying the attributes to, or how you're using that Style. If you're applying the Style to text that's already in the document, you may need to run the
spell-checker to clear the 'error' underlining that was already there.
Cheers

i have created the "NOGrammarSpellCheck" Style correctly.
yes i had written some VBA codes in my doc, then i created my "NoGrammarCheck" Style & Applied it on the selected Exiting codes. but again errors are shown. i noticed that when i again click on my style to apply, know errors disappear.
so i found that if codes exit before, we must apply the
"NoGrammarCheck" Style Twice so that it completely be applied.
but if we Apply the style on a blank area in word doc & then paste our VBA codes in that Area, now everything is ok & no grammar or spell check is shown.
am i correct ?
