Spelling and Grammar check

Coming from entourage I am used to seeing on-going spelling and grammar check - right click and you can see the suggestions. In Mail I have set to check as I type but can't right click to correct and need to pull up the spelling and grammar box (command and ":") before sending. Any way this can be changed?
Also how do I get the URLs in emails to be underlined when typed and not only when sent?

Select the word, then RIGHT- or CTRL-click to see either suggestions or to look up in the Dictionary. If spell checking is turned on then a misspelled word will appear with a wavy read line below it. There is no grammar checker in OS X.

    Also search/ask in the forums run by the people who make that app.  Word does not use any Apple spelling or grammar stuff.

  • Spelling and grammar check not identifying problems?

    I recently updated my office, and it is no longer identifying mistakes. I have tried to go to tools and setting, but when I select the spelling and grammar check it just says it is complete without fixing any errors.

    How does one spell check and grammar check languages other than English???

    If it is an empty document open Inspector > T tab > More > Language, change to the language you want. Now spell checking should work
    If you already have written something select all text and then do the above procedure

  • Using Mavericks Spelling and Grammar in Pages document causes Pages to freeze. Must Force Quit. Mavericks spell checker works OK in Text and Emails. How can I fix this problem?

    Using Mavericks' Spelling and Grammar in a Pages document causes Pages to freeze, Must Force Quit. How can I fix this problem?
    Mavericlks Spelling and Grammar works in Pages when used manually. And it works automatically in Text and email.

    Another autocorrect bug:
    I type a lot of lyrics, which tend to cotain words like ’cause and ’em instead of because and them.
    I've set up autocorrect instances to change a plain apostrophe with an ending, single curly quote for these words, but they are invariably changed to a beginning, single curly quote mark by Pages. The only way I can get the correct curly quote is to type over the wrong quote manually and hope that I don't have to edit the rest of the word again, as this would cause autocorrect to kick in again and change the quote to the wrong, beginning curly mark again.
    Does anyone know how to get around this tedious problem?

  • Check the spelling and grammar

    Mamma,  spoke to Priya last night.  Since we're going on Saturday,  she wants to come along with us. 
    Told Prabhu about the registration but he feels Monday or Wednesday will be a better option because the house owner needs two days advance notice to apply for leave etc.
    Completed a project report and ready to finalise today.

  • Spelling and grammar not working on word

    so i'm doing my university dissertation on word. the file has been working fine. i loaded a file from an external drive with a presentation on it. the spell check didn't work on the file, but that was fine. i later continued my work, but spelling and grammar won't work. i get the information shown in the screen shot attached and it won't let me view or edit the spelling and grammar option on the preferences. i've tried loads of things, including watching every youtube video on the matter that never helps. i'm no good at spelling and grammar so i really need this back asap. i've deleted all the files i was using from the external drive, i've been through loads of options to try and get it back, but no luck. please help.

    (spelling and grammar won't 'light up' and i can't select it at all.)

    I've got the same problem.
    Have you found the solution yet?

  • Safari Spelling and Grammar Ignore Button

    A friend noticed that when checking spelling using the Spelling and Grammar option in Safari (Edit->Spelling and Grammar->Show Spelling and Grammar) and clicking the Ignore button when rejecting a suggestion, Safari would reload the page ... the reloaded page would loose anything he had typed into a field.
    Has anyone else noticed this behavior? I've been able to reproduce the behavior several times and I tried a search Apple Safari Communities but nothing came up for "Spelling and Grammar".
    Thanks!

    Thanks Reverse_Parn, I did a virus scan on my computer and it didn't highlight anything. I did a disc cleanup and de fragged my hard drive in case something was amiss there but it still does it. I think I will try to download Safari again on my PC as I initially did it on my laptop (which runs Vista) and then burnt it onto a disc to install it on my PC (which runs XP) because my internet explorer on my PC was broken and couldn't access the internet at all. Just thinking maybe I downloaded the correct Safari for my Laptop but not my PC. Time will tell!

  • Spelling and Grammar

    I'll post here as this works globally - Not just the finder and dock, but I don't see where else it should go.
    In spelling and grammar - I accidentally checked 'learn' on an incorrectly spelled word. How can I remove this from the dictionary (I don't want it to think that word is correct if I misspell it again).
    Thanks

    Try this:
    Go to Users / Your Name / Library / Spelling
    There you'll see a file called EN-GB (in my case, it may be EN_US in the States for instance). It can be edited with text Edit.

    i have a problem with mail.  the spelling and grammer check box before sending the messege is no longer there.  I did everything but cannot get it back.  is ther anyone who knows how to get the box with spelling and grammer checks before sending the mail.
    Also the mail is acting very funny by not getting the rules work in a proper method.  Is ther a software to repair mail.

    i did both of them, but still the while sending the mail the diolog box is not showing up and also the spelling and grammer does not do the spelling check. 
    This problem just started for about 3 to 4 days now.  earlier it was working normally.

  • Spelling and grammar app for Mail always opens with french

    Any ideas? I have seen this  bugfor years and I just finally got sick of it enogh to see if anyone else had the problem.  I tried in the past to change its behaviour but no luck

    Is this what you are doing?
    With a document open, choose Edit > Spelling and Grammar > Show Spelling and Grammar.
    To change the language, choose it from the pop-up menu. If you want to see more language options, choose Open Text Preferences.

  • Apple Mail: spelling and grammar settings (OSx 10.6.8)

    Hello;
    Whenever I open mail, the spelling and grammar settings revert back to English. I often write emails in either French or English, and thus want to set it to "Automatic". However, it always reverts to English. How do I permanently set this preference to "Automatic"?
    Thanks for any help.

    REboot holding CMD+r keys to boot from your Restore partition, useDisk utility from there to firstRepair Disk, then Repair Permissions.

  • How to reduce size of spelling and grammar window in Mail

    In Mail, the spelling and grammar window that pops up for correction when an email is sent is the size of the entire screen.  How do I shrink it to allow the drafted email to show as corrections are proposed?
