Spell checker for KWrite doesn't work [SOLVED]

How do I enable spell checking for the KDE editors, i.e. KWrite, Kate, etc? I've installed aspell via pacman, it's in /usr/bin which is in my PATH. In KWrite's Settings>Configure Editor>Plugins, there is an option "KTextEditor KDataTool Plugin: Enable data tools like thesaurus and spell check (if installed)" which I've checked. In another distro, that's how I enabled spell checking with aspell, i.e. by checking this box for the spell check plugin. But in Arch this doesn't seem to be sufficient. When I try to spell check a document in KWrite, I get this error:
"The spelling program could not be started. Please make sure you have set the correct spelling program and that it is properly configured and in your PATH."
What else do I need to do?
Robert
EDIT: Sorry, searching this forum for "spellcheck" hadn't yielded any solution but after I posted this I also searched for "spell AND check" and found the solution: I had neglected to pick Aspell as the client for spell checking in Control Center>KDE Components>Spell Checker.

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.

InDesign CC spell check "ignore all" doesn't work

Is anyone having problems with "Ignore All" not working in spell check? I am repeatedly being prompted to check the same word or abbreviation again and again.
Just to be sure it wasn't a result of hidden characters or other variables, I have copied several text frames and spell check prompts for the same terms in both text frames even after clicking "ignore all" for each word the first time through.

I too started having this problem just this week.
I use ID to create user's manuals in which a product model number will show up at least 5 times per document. The "Ignore All" button in spell check has always ignored all instances of a product model number until now. I've noticed that "Ignore All" does not work on any repeated words in any of my documents. I'm not sure what has changed that caused "Ignore All" to stop working.

Add-ons - Check for updates doesn't work

Hi
In FF5 i found that the "Check for Updates" and "Update Add-ons Automatically" does not work for plugins. I notice in FF6 that a link has appeared "Check to see if your plugins are up to date".
However i've now discovered that in FF6, "Check for Updates", "Find Updates" (from the right-click menu of a particular add-on) and "Update Add-ons Automatically" did not work for extensions either.
Please see here for evidence https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/862250
My question is - is Check for Updates / Update Add-ons automatically intended to work for either plugins or extensions. If so, has the bug been reported, if not, why is it there?
thanks ...

That is because the creator hasn't uploaded that new version yet to the Add-ons site and if he has done that then the extension still needs to be approved before updating will work. 
Such unapproved extension usually appear first on the versions page (e.g. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/speed-dial/versions/) waiting for review, but that hasn't happened yet if this case.
Plugins always need to be updated manually by visiting the website or via an alert from the plugin (Java and Shockwave do that)

Perhaps you can find an Arabic dictionary for OpenOffice. That may also work with OS X.

Spell check for microsoft word and excel not working?

Hi all,
I seem to have a problem of spell check for micrsoft word / excel not working. It all stemed with me deleting microsoft office from my computer, after thinking it was playing havoc on my system, (making it slower and sending a strange attachment with some emails) but after one week I relaised i needed it, i tried loading it again, but now the spell check doesnt seem to work?
also if any one can tell me, regarding my strange attachment. i was told today that "ATT00034" is sent because it contains font information that is not supported to the people i send it to? im not sure?
thanks to all

Since Office is not an Apple product, you'll probably want to use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://www.microsoft.com/mac/community/community.aspx?pid=newsgroups> rather than an Apple forum
Be sure to search the forum first in case someone has already had a similar question answered.

How can I enable spell checking for a text box that is just one line, e.g. subject in e-mail?

In a prior version of Firefox I found a website somewhere that told me what to do to enable spell checking for text boxes that are just one line. I got used to being able to send an e-mail with a Subject Line that didn't have a misspelling. Now it doesn't work. Please tell me how I can enable that again. I am on a Mac using Firefox 6.0.2. Thanks!

See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Spell_checking
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/layout.spellcheckDefault
You can set the pref layout.spellcheckDefault to 2 on the about:config page.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

How can I enforce automatic spell checking for selected fields of data entered by form users?

I'd like to be able to enforce spell checking of selected fields in the forms that I've created using LiveCycle Designer 8.2 at run time, as opposed to design time. I understand the version LCD 8 has a nifty new spell checker for form designers. But I want to spell check the data entered by users using Acrobat Reader. And I want to enforce the spell checking automatically on selected fields only.
Presently it seems that users filling in my forms, must know how to manually right-click on each field and select "Spell Check" from the resulting dialog box in order to check for spelling errors in the data the user has entered in the form.
I would like to discover a way to enforce spell checking in selected fields, just as I am able to do in forms created using Acrobat Pro. In Acrobat Pro, I can set a property for each field to require spell checking. but that feature seems to be missing in Livecycle Designer.
I've check the Object model for XFA forms hoping that I might find a method I can call with a Javascript, to check spelling based on an event such as onBlur. But I haven't found a spell check method.
Am I missing something simple? Is there a way to set each field to be spell checked when a user is filling in the form using the free Acrobat Reader?
Our users are not sophisticated and requiring them to spell check each field separately just won't cut it...
Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
-David Bartholomew

Hi David,
Two things...
At design time set the locale of the form to one that Acrobat spell checks. For example English (US) and English (UK) locales have spell checkers; however English (Ireland) does not. Check the Warnings tab to see if spell checking is supported for your locale.
If your form locale supports spell checking then you can go to the button script below.
If you form locale does NOT support spell checking then Stephanie has a great work around to force spell checking (http://forums.adobe.com/message/2233945#2233945).
Bring a regular button onto the form and in the click event have the following:
app.execMenuItem("Spelling:Check Spelling");
Which will open the spell checker for all fields. Thanks to Paul for extracting all of the accessible menu items (http://forums.adobe.com/message/1912914#1912914).
Good luck,
Niall

I have an Iphone 3GS and the app for Facebook doesn't work anymore...

I have an Iphone 3GS and the app for Facebook doesn't work anymore since last update made yesterday.
How can I restore it without the last update?
Or, what can I do to have the Facebook back again on my mobile?
Thank you for your help.

Hi Ricoco,
I too had exact issue what you were experienced, then I went to Apple autorised service center and submitted my earpods, their it worked with all versions of Apple iphones, but it didn't worked on my 3gs. The service technician suggested for OS upgrade.Then I came home and I took the backup and upgraded 5.1 to 6.1 as he suggested, also it didn't worked. I was totally frustated and suddenly I got an idea!. What a funny thing here is, a safety pin resolved my issue, I took out all dust which was there in the jack hole. Then I check my earpods, it was amazing you know..MY EAR PODS WORKED!.
If you still have this issue, I hope this will help you.

How do I obtain spell check for Photoshop Elements 12

I use spell check with my Photoshop CS but I don't see a spell check for my Elements 12. Is there a plug in I can get for a spell check?

In photoshop cs2 record the spell check action:
1. Create a new document and type a word you know is misspelled
2. Go to Window>Actions
3. At the bottom of the actions palette press the Create New Set button
4. At the bottom of the actions palette press the Create New Action button
5. Press Record, go to Edit>Check Spelling, press Done on the spell check dialog and click on the Stop Recording button at the bottom of the actions palette
6. Save your action set to somewhere like your desktop using the Save Actions from the actions palette fly-out menu.
In the photoshop elements 12 editor in the Expert mode
1. Go to window>Actions and load the spell check action from the fly-out menu on the actions panel
2. Click on the name of the action (not the name of the action set) and press Play to play the action.
The check spelling action should work in pse 12 just as check spelling does in photoshop cs2

Spell check for kids using flash

I am creating a spell check for kids using flash.
The flash starts with a silhouettes of a word say B A N A N A and below it shows a jumbled up letters. The kids drags and drops each letter on top of the dark silhouettes. If it matches scores points.
Any help in creating AS3 script will be apreciated. I did create one using mc and target mc and works fine when the mc is draged on to target mc. Only problem arises when there are duplicate letters.
Thanks in advance

What I described will work as you describe wanting. If every A movieclip has a property (name this property anything you want, like "myLetterValue") with a value of "A" and every A-target movieclip also has a property with a value of "A", then you can use those properties to determine when any object with an "A" is planted on any target with an "A"
So when you drop a letter on a target you compare the property of each to see if they are equal... if(targetMC.myLetterValue == letterMC.myLetterValue){ // correct match }

Have IOS5 and new Pages version. Spell check in French does not work

Pages works fine on my IPadI, but how can I get it to spell check in French, used to work fine with other version.
Checked my preferences on my IPad, they are french. What to do?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Checked and yes I did have Pages in French and had the French keyboard checked on my IPad preferences. Your suggestion reminded me of that "world key". Read something about it, long time ago. Never used it before but when I taped it, it brought me a choice of keyboards, so now I can go back and forth from English to French on my Pages texts, and all that without going back to my system preferences!
Thank you for the comment, helped jog my memory.

Quicktime for windows doesn't work, wont let me uninstall or update.Help!

Quicktime for windows doesn't work, won't let me uninstall (tells me fatal errro) or update (tells me it encountered an error on installation). Help!I am running Windows XP on an Intel pentium PC. Any ideas? Dvora

When you get this fatal error uninstalling, try a full removal of iTunes and related programs with an installer clean up of any that do not uninstall cleanly:
Here is a method:
Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime (the one without iTunes)
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program.
To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install Cleanup
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
*If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry*, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
When you get to deleting Quicktime files in the system32 folder as advised in the method, you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
Restart your PC.
Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
If you don’t see an entry for one of the programs that did not uninstall, look out for blank entries or numeric entries that look like version numbers e.g. 7.x for Quicktime or 1.x for Bonjour.
restart your PC
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
If it does, install iTunes.
