Spell checking support in 2.0

Does anyone know if Pages 2.0 - contrary to Pages 1.0 - can make use of spelling dictionaries installed by CocoAspell?
I would really like to use Pages more than I do at the moment but I need integrated spell checking. I do most of my writing in Danish but of the Scandinavian languages only Swedish is included in OS X.
Thanks

What is CocoSpell? I'm looking to replace my WordPerfect/Mac - now that the Intel Macs won't support Classic. WordPerfect is still my favorite word processor, I use it in English and German - therefore I need a German spell checker.
I use Word, and don't like it much, although the spelling & grammer features are superb. I have tried Appleworks and Mariner Write - Mariner is OK, but its spell checkers are clumsy and not intuitive. I am an attorney, and I do most of my own writing so I'm looking for something easy but powerful - WordPerfect for OS X would be perfect - but I guess that's a pipe dream. Does "Pages" come with spell checkers in languages other than English? Thanks all.

  • Multilingual spell check support in WYSIWYG element.

    Hi All,
    I am using site studio for creating a website where author can contribute in many languages.
    i wanted to know whether WYSIWYG provide any support for multilingual spell check.
    if yes how we can enable it.
    please help........
    Thanks
    Somesh

    Hi Somesh,
    you are right - it is a feature of the WYSIWYG editor. Site Studio may use two: FCKeditor (default) or Ephox Edit Live - see http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/doc.1111/e10614/e02_considerations.htm#SSMAN259
    Either of them has an option for spell checker - see http://docs.cksource.com/FCKeditor_2.x/Developers_Guide/Configuration/Spell_Checker (it has an option to use IE's checker, though) and http://ephox.com/editlive
    I could not find information if it is available in other languages. I'd recommend you to contact these companies directly as these are 3rd party products.

  • Thunderbird spell-checking for non en_US broken

    Hi there,
    Is someone else experiencing issues with spell-checking support for languages other than en_US?
    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Go to write and compose a new message
    2. Click on the "Spelling" button in the top toolbar to select the dictionary.
    In that selection I used to see all my installed dictionaries. Now I only see English (US).
    Installed dictionaries:
    hunspell 1.3.3-1
    hunspell-de-de 20131206-1
    hunspell-en-gb 7.1-2
    hunspell-nl-nl 2.10g-1
    hunspell-pl 20120911-2
    Tested with the following versions of Thunderbird:
    thunderbird 31.1.1-1
    thunderbird-beta-bin 33.0b1-1
    It does not seem to be an add-on issue since I also tried it with all add-ons being disabled.
    Other programs still properly use the installed dictionaries.

    With these (latest) versions of official x86_64 packages:
    $ pacman -Qs hunspell
    local/hunspell 1.3.3-1
    Spell checker and morphological analyzer library and program
    local/hunspell-en 7.1-3
    English hunspell dictionaries
    $ pacman -Q thunderbird
    local/thunderbird 31.1.1-1
    Standalone Mail/News reader
    Works okay for me too.

  • How to add support both English and Portuguese in spell checking?

    In my research work, I often have to write documents both in English and Portuguese. How should I add support for both languages in spell checking? I'd want to switch between both when writing my stuff and, for now, all I have available on Pages is my Mac OS X Lion's native language: English. How to add support for both languages in Pages?

    You can use Styles. The default language in your Pages Styles is set to the computer language which you said is english, right.
    If you want Portuguese for some body text select some text >
    in the Inspector palette > T tab > More > language > select Portuguese >
    now click on the style Body text triangle > choose Create new paragraph style from selection > name it so you know it has this language.
    When writing you have to tell Pages which paragraph to be in Portuguese and which in English.

  • I would like to go back to my old version. Version 4 does not support my Afrikaans spell checker etc.

    Most of my work is done in Afrikaans en therefore my spell checker is vital to me. Your latest version is not compatible to the available spell checker and so I would like to revert back to the older version.
    Kind Regards
    Stephanie

    A spell checker that works in Firefox 3.6 should also work in Firefox 4.0 even if not listed as compatible.
    You can force Firefox to install the spell checker or re-enable it if it has been disabled by installing the Add-on Compatibility Reporter extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter

  • Dictionary support in Greek (spell check)

    Hi! I enabled check spelling on my iPad but it doesn't work in Greek. It works in English though. In English in underlines the wring words and makes suggestions but it doesn't do the same in Greek. What should i do?

  • I can't use word because a box keeps popping up saying that it can't find the spell check files?

    I open Word and there is a pop-up message saying that word cannot start the spelling checker because the files may be missing and to make sure that the spell checker files are installed or use the Microsoft installer to install spell checker. I have never had this problem with Word before and spell check has always been fine. What should I do?

    Since word is made by Microsoft you should post your question on their own forums for their Mac software as Apple Communities only provide support for Apple products:

  • When I right click, I can't copy or spell check or open a tab in a new window.

    When I right click on a picture, it doesn't give me the option to copy or to view in another tab as a separate image from the web page it is on. I no longer have the option to spell check. When I highlight text to copy, it doesn't give me an option to copy it but only says "copy link location". I can open a new tab by holding down the control key and clicking the link I want open in a new tab but when I right click and click "Open in new tab" it does nothing. This started happening about a week ago.

    You can try to update to Firefox 21 that has been released today.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • 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.

  • How to use multiple languages at the same time for spell checking?

    I use two different languages all the time and words are mostly so different (English and Finnish) that I could have spell checking on for both languages at the same time.
    Now it seem to allow to select only one language at the time and I have to switch back and fort zillion of times per day.

    Thanks for the quick answer.
    The Dictionary Switcher doesn't seem to work with Finnish language, it doesn't detect it at all to be one of the choices although in the Firefox context menu Languages -> Finnish/Finland is shown.
    Also, if it would work, I would need to get rid of multiple EN_* langauges. I just need EN_UK or EN_US, not all 22 different EN_*.
    One option would be to create a custom dictionary, which would have words from both languages. The next task is then to find out how to make this kind of custom ENFI-dictionary, which would have words from both English and Finnish languages.
    Finnish may be a some kind of special case for spell checking anyway, because the support is in its separate plugin:

  • The Firefox spell checker has the option for me to add custom words to the dicionary. Please tell me how to delete a word from this file of custom words because a mispelled word got in there by mistake.

    I want to know how to delete words from the custom dictionary in the spell checker that I put there by mistake.

    In your profile directory, the file is '''persdict.dat''' and you should know how to get to your profile. One way is to enter '''about:support''' in the location bar then click on "Open Containing Folder". Or go through the Help menu > Troubleshooting Information > ...
    You can edit with wordpad, or notepad++, but not with notepad,
    because there is one word per line and you will not see that in notepad after Firefox has updated it.&nbsp; Update after closing Firefox.
    I will have to change my Spell Check documentation to not suggest notepad

  • We get paid with cheques and organise specialised coloured aluminium. I can not rid my mac book pro or my IMac of the american spell checker.

    We get paid with cheques and organise, specialised coloured aluminium. I can not rid my apple devices, mac book pro, desktop IMac or IPhone of the american spell checker.
    Everything, Numbers and Pages et al, always default back to US English. To cap it all we sell luminaires (yes this is a word used in our world of lighting design everyday) Mac and Microsoft always default - my docs have more words underlined in red that not. I once found a permanent solution for Microsoft that removed US english - and then the laptop died. Can anyone rid me of this irritation.

    GOT IT FIXED!  WOW!
    I did better than filing a bug report.  I went to Apple support, chose chat support.  When it wanted $15 or was it $19 I filed an exemption which was a choice on the page, based on the fact that I recently upgraded to Yosemite.
    Got the chat fellow and here we go!!!!  ;-)  First off he sent me this app so he could see my screen.  Then he had me do a few things  like move the system configuration folder to the desktop and repair permissions.  Then he had me reset the SMC and Pram.  Nothing helped, all the ghost computers still showed in the finder.
    As a last resort he had me reset my Apple Airport Extreme.  Wala!  Ghost Computers GONE!  He said it was a combination of stuff but mainly it was the airport extreme when I installed Yosemite.  Something to do with my network.  We'll see if it holds or if the problem comes back but as of now there's no more ghost computers in the sharing part of the finder.
    Thanks to all who offered suggestions.  I hope maybe this helps someone else.

  • Since upgrading to ios5 spell check no longer works on my iPad 2

    I have tried turning spell check off and on again and rebooting the iPad but that did not help, what am I supposed to do? Reinstall ios5 because it took me 8 hours the first time round I'm not going through that again.

    I have not used the Support Communities before... meaning we pay our med care to answer Apple questions? And where is that answer or at least the... "we are working on it... " comment from Apple. The first post is OCTOBER how is that possible?? Did you see the last quarter Apple profits?
    Anyway I too have that problem... where is the red line? Maybe the promotion of writing errors and dumbing us down is... the goal? Obviously with the iPad "keyboard" the redline is needed and how was it left out in the first place?? Hope there is not some simple tick we are all missing... .

  • 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)
