Spell checker help, PLEASE

I have a MacBook Pro Unibody with OSX 10.6.8, and my spell checking system went away. I also have cocoAspell 2.1 installed too. Neither one is working. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but what I REALLY LIKES was having all of my misspelled words and grammatical errors show up with a red line underneath them. That's the way it used to be. The red lines showed up in Word, Mail, or any other text entry application. I tried re-installing cocAspell and still nothing. When I control-click on a text entry fiels the MANUAL spell checker window opens up, but it's blank and catches nothing. Help - I don't knonw what I'm doing wrong, and my spelling *****! It's embarrassing. I need advice on finding a fix, whether it's in OSX or an inexpensive 3rd party spell checker (I can't find any under $35)
Thanks for Any help you can provide.

Open Safari in iPhone, and open a new browser (very important!). Now tap the Google search field and start typing the word you want to add to the dictionary. Tap “Google” button to launch the search. Now you can close Safari, and the word should be in your dictionary.

Spell Check Help

Is there a way for Pages to recognize accidental doubled spaces within spell check?

Joseph,
As you probably know, the Find tool is good at locating, and replacing, the accidental double-space.

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?

After iOS8, spell check doesn't work for last word in sentence

Hello,
After updating my iPhone 5 to iOS 8, i've noticed that the spell checker and the keybord shortcuts arent working for the last word in sentence.
For instance, I used to have a shortcut, so whenever I texted LOL and hit the send button, it would send "HAHAHAHA" into the message.
Now, if i just type LOL and hit send, it will send LOL iinto conversation.
Has anyone managed to fix it out?
Thanks.

Confirm this is selected:
In the new Write window
Options > Spell check as you type
''re Yes, I have dictionaries installed.''
This implies you have more than one dictionary.
Can you check to see if any addon /extension is causing a conflict.
There is no point starting up in safe mode as this will disable the dictionaries. So instead:
Tools > Add-ons
The 'Add-ons Manager will open in a new tab
select 'Extensions'
Disable all add-on extensions except for one dictionary.
Check to see if that dictionary is an up to date version.
then select 'Dictionaries'
This is where the default dictionary is located.
In my case it is 'United States English Spellchecker'
make sure this is disabled.
The idea being to ensure that only one dictionary is enabled and that it is up to date. Then check to see if the spell check works.
If you have other dictionaries, go through the process of enabling one dictionary, checking it is up to date and then testing the spell check.
Please confirm which dictionaries you have installed.
for example, I have British English Dictionary 1.19.1 and it is located under Tools > Addons > 'Extensions' and it is enabled.
I also have under:
Tools > Addons > 'Dictionaries'
'United States English Spellchecker' 7.0.1 but this is disabled.
Tell us what you have and report back on the testing.

Why wont the spell check function work in a fillable form? Please help deadline looming.

Spell check wont work. Have read through various internet help solutions but no luck so far.
I have windows 7 64 bit.
The forms are on a CD-Rom (from about 10 years ago) but I have up to Adobe date software on my PC.
Edit-Preferences-Spelling shows I have English United Kingdom selected and the check box, check spelling whilst typing is ticked.
When I press F7 and start it finds nothing even though I have made deliberate mistakes to check if it's working.
Any help would really be appreciated.

It's possible the author of the file disabled the spell-checking option for this field.

PLEASE HELP-Is there a way to spell check footnotes in indesign cs2 separately

Is there a way to spell check footnotes in indesign or in incopy cs2 separately?

Select all the text - not in the footnotes - but in your normal text frames.
Then go to Window>Type and Tables>Character
Change the Language to No Language
Then run your spell check. It will only check the spelling in your Footnotes now.
When done, change the language back to whatever your usual dictionary language should be. (note it may still check text inside tables - so you might have to put up with that?)
Anyone know of a way to script changing all the text bar footnotes to No Language - run a spell check - then reset the text language back?
( you don't want to hear the other crazy ideas I had for this one !)

Help me turn off the spell checker

The iApps are usually so intuitive but for some reason I simply can't find a way to turn off the extremely annoying spell checker in Keynote. Not only do I strenuously object to being second-guessed on my spelling by a piece of software, I also get very angry when it tries to foist US English spellings on me when I'm not an American and my system is set up for international English. What's next, an animated paperclip??
Can someone please help me switch it off (Keynote 06)...?

Thanks Kyn, don't know how I missed that...
The remaining issue is the choice of spelling dictionary - I still can't work out how a user with international or UK English settings is being prompted to use US spellings in place of correct English spellings.

Illustrator spell check won't find misspelled words(language in english)... help

I create a lot of stationary and need the spell check. It used to work no problem. Now, when I click check spelling it comes up, asks if I want to start, I do and then nothing shows up. I have checked this by selling words incorrectly on purpose and by accident, when I go over my documents. I checked the language it is in english, I am not sure what to do next. Please help me I needthe spell check my fingers move too fast and I misspell frequently!

.....At five "thrity" in the evening....

Please add "iPhone" to the spell check dictionary.

The forums spell checker is flagging iPhone, which is an Apple product name. Please add it to the dictionary.

As you don't run a Mac I can only suggest that you add them yourself - after all you only have to do it once!
Umm, I want to be as "constructive" as possible, so I'll clarify my statement. My suggestion referred to the web based spell checker built into the apple discussions site. It's the little "ABC" checkmark icon between underline and quote. This application does not run on anyone's local machine, (Mac or other)- it's web based.
On the server, it contains a database of all the words that are spelled correctly, along with thousands of suggestions for how to correctly spell words that aren't correct.
Apple generally takes very good care to make the user experience seamless and well thought out. Unfortunately in this case, it's failure to include it's own brand names like "phone" seems careless or at least sloppy. If you look beyond just it's own product names like "iMac", you'll also discover than common feature words like WiFi, GSM and dozens of other words which are commonly used in these forums are also missing. I'm trying to help Apple give the most professional image possible.
As for your comment, immediatly replying that I'm not using a Mac so too bad seems to run counter to the desire of this community, beyond the fact that you don't understand this application. If the goal is to encourage Windows, (or in my case Linux), users to move to OSX, then you might want to be or encouraging and not so dismissive. If your goal is to alienate potential customers perhaps you're ideally suited for the Linux user community who's elitist ugliness for NOOBS is legendary.

Spell checker stopped working, how can I fix this please

Help please for above question

Do you have a dictionary installed and selected?
You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the Languages submenu.
At least one dictionary should be installed and have a check mark to indicate that it is selected.
*Open the "Add Dictionaries" link to install a dictionary if you do not have one.
*Make sure that [X] "Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu is check-marked.
You can enable or disable spell checking globally:
*Tools > Options > Advanced : General: Browsing: "Check my spelling as I type"
You can look here for dictionaries:
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/language-tools/
