  • Spell check doesn't work on shared documents

    We have four computers (Mac) running CS6 (multiple licenses) and sharing documents via a server. Beginning with CS3, we were not able to spell check a document multiple times. Now, with CS6, three computers cannot spell check ANY shared documents. One computer (the one that created the original document) can spell check anything multiple times. When the other computers try to spell check something the dialogue box opens and you hit "start" but nothing happens, as though there are no spelling errors (which there certainly are). All other computers are able to spell check documents originally created on that computer. Copying documents from the server to the computer's hard drive still does not allow them to be spell checked.
    Thoughts?

    Is this a statement or do you want some help? If you want help you have to tell us what you see and why you say it doens't work. No one but you sees your screen!

  • Medical Spell Check

    How I do I run the English USA dictionary then run English Medical dictionary when spell-checking documents?
    I work in medical advertising and it would save me adding our medical terms to the English USA dictionary.

    Yes, that's the way to do it.
    I guess common medical terms are added, because hyphenation and spell check work very different (these terms, as you may well know, usally have Latin and Greek roots).
    (Additionally:)
    You cannot set a document to a language. For existing documents: if you used Paragraph Styles, go to the Advanced Character Format and change the language there. The paragraphs that use these styles are adjusted automatically. If you did not used styles -- well, you should have! -- select all text and change the language using the Character panel.
    You can also set the 'default language' for new documents: close all documents, then change the language using the Character panel. It should 'stick' for newly entered (but not styled) text.

  • Problems with spell checker

    When attempting to spell-check document, receive alert message: "couldn't contact spell checker". Seeking ideas to resolve this. Will I have to re-install 'pages' app?

    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.

  • Pages 08 spell checker not working after pasting in a windows document.

    I am working Pages 08. I pasted a Windows document ( Microsoft word I am assuming ? ) that I saved from another email account(not safari,school based) into my Pages document. Now the spell checker will not work in the Pages document only, Works fine everywhere else. Even if I paste the Pages text into a new document the checker will not work in the document. Any suggestions /

    I figured it out. The language was set to none in the inspector

  • Why is my spell checker not working in a document using Word 2003

    I have a word document in Word 2003  .   I was altering it and noticed that from page 3 to 6 the spell checker does not work.
    I transferred the pages into another another file still didn't work .  Just copied a paragraph still didn't work.  So I then started typing the rest of the document into another file and straight away it underlined my spelling mistakes in red.
    So why not in these few pages of my document.
    This is a paragraph from the pages below.  I altered some words deliberately to see if my Word 2003 would pick them up.  It didn't. 
    The landlord shall be entitiled to pursue the tenant for any reasonable costs incurred as a result of the tenant’s faulure to pay rent including but not limited to any charges for returned cheques or any reasonable costs incurred
    in pursuing the tenant for payment of unpaid rent.
    But when I put it in here it does pick them up.  So it is something I have done .

    Hi,
    According to your description, this issue is more related to Word. The Word IT Pro Discussions forum is a better place for word questions, we will move it there for you.

    If you mean checking spelling as you type, go to Edit > Spelling > Check Spelling While Typing.

  • Turn off spell check in specific documents?

    Hi,
    Is there a way to turn off spell check permanently for a single document? I want it to be turned on always for all other documents, but not this one in particular. Thanks!

    Tyler,
    Language is a Text Style property and can be set to "None" in the Text Inspector, More pane. If you select all the text in this particular document, and set the Language to None, it appears that your spelling will not be checked. You may want to define a style with this property if you need to apply it to imported text.

  • Turning off spell checking in one document

    Any way to stop spell checking one document only? It seems like it's either on or off for all documents, and I can't have it off for select documents.

    Hi,
    In iCal, Control-Click some text in an event note you are editing. From the contextual menu select Spelling and Grammar and de-select all items in the submenu.

  • 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

    Hi,
    It seems to be an Office related issue, I suggest asking the question in Office forums for help.

    Hi,
    As the log, MSGR2CZ.DLL and wwlib.dll were both of the Microsoft libraries,not the third-party libraries. Thus, we need to analysis what happened with the dump file. But, it is beyond what we can do in the forum. I recommend you open a ticket with Microsoft
    engineer.

  • Cannot spell check the document with numbers?

    The latest update has changed Numbers. I can no longer see the spelling errors for the entire document via the squiggly red line. I use Excel speadsheets imported into Numbers for my work. Spell check only works for individual cells but not the entire document. I am looking 50,000+ items. I need the whole document, not individual cells. Any advice?

    Hi Bacchus,
    Numbers 3.1
    Two methods.
    1. Menu > Edit > Spelling and Grammar > Show Spelling and Grammar
    When it shows 'This word was not found in the spelling dictionary', choose a suggestion and Change then Find Next.
    2. Numbers > Preferences > General > Editing > Show suggestions when editing table cells.

    Ian
