Using Spell Check makes Pages crash

Since upgrading to Mavericks and the latest version of iPages, it crashes every time I try to use spell check. This is beyond frustrating. Has this happened to anyone else and do you know of any fixes?
thanks!

Others have reported the issue, but not everyone is getting it.
Pages 5 has so many bugs and missing features you are better off just going back to any older version of Pages which should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.

Trash/Archive Pages 5 after exporting any Pages 5 files back to Pages '09 format.
Then rate/review Pages 5 in the App Store.

The new version of Pages in Mavericks crashes when I use spell checker.

The new Pages in Mavericks crashes each time I use spell checker. I have to Force Quit each time I use spell. I've been using Pages for many years with no problems. This is a first. I don't know if it relates to Mail's spell checker problem I've also been having since upgrading to Mavericks. In Mail, some words that I commonly misspell (like hte for the) are no longer corrected when I send mail. Anyone else have this problem? Any workarounds or clues as to how to fix the issue?

Many features have been removed from Pages 5 see:

Meanwhile it probably is best to continue using Pages '09 if that is possible and if you are unhappy with Pages 5 give it a review and rating in the App Store.

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.

Spell Check All Pages in Dreamweaver CS4

With a new converted web site of over 150 pages I need to spell check the pages.
Is there any extension or method to spell check all of the pages at once?
Thanks

Unfortunately, you can’t do it. As I have noted before, Adobe should be ashamed of itself that I have to import my entire site into FrontPage 98 in order to get an effective spell-check. I get laughed at for using FrontPage, but it's a far better program, sadly.

Sluggish Spell Check in Pages

I tried to do a full-document spell check in Pages (300-page doc), but it was s-o-o-o-o-o sluggish that I copied the whole document into AppleWorks and did the spell check there in a fraction of the time. (I prefer not to use the spellcheck-as-you type feature.) Any thoughts?
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Just answered my own question: When I get out of layout mode, the spell-check moves at a normal (quick) rate.

How to use Spell-check functionality for textbox (like Orkut, gtalk)

How to use Spell-check functionality for tex Hello Friends,
I am working on a JSP application. I wanted to add Spell check for text box like we have here, when we post a message. It automatically shows red line under the word, when ever spelling is wrong. Please tell me how I can do this. If possible, the code too.
Thanks.

I believe the spell checking you see here, or on any other site, is the spell checking built into Firefox. At least that's what I see. Are you using Firefox?

Spell checker in Pages for iOS - other than english

Hello,
I'm trying to get spell checking in Pages for iOS working in another language besides english. My question is- is spell checker in Pages for iOS evailable in any other language besides english? Because it doesn't seem to be- once I change keyboard to another language (even matching system language), Pages stops underlying errors in that keyboard language.
Thanks.

Spellcheck/autocorrect follows the keyboard (system language is irrelevant). Please tell us what language exactly is not working for you.

Adobe Flash Professional CS6, cant use spell checker, missing or not there

I am trying to use spell checker on Adobe Flash CS6, everywhere I look for help is very minimal. Most places just say click Text > then Check Spelling but I can't see this anywhere, I have found these instructions under Adobe CS6's Help but the Help on Adobe's website was brief an unhelpful.
I am unsure what is wrong mainly because of the minimal help I found on-line but as I said Check Spelling is not under Text and nowhere else as far as I can tell. Any advice would be helpful, I seem to remember having to add a Spell Check Dictionary manually on much older versions of Macromedia Flash is this the case here? If so why is it so hard to find help on this matter?
     thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks for the response but you have just told me the only piece of information I can find about this - its under Text. But like I said it isn't there, there's nothing to do with spelling at all within my Flash programme anywhere. I am using it on Windows 7 64-bit using Adobe Creative cloud on Adobe Flash Professional CS6 - Version 13.1.0.226
Here is a screenshot
Also why is your answer marked as "Correct?" We have not resolved this issue so far.
     Thank You

How to use spell checker without mouse?

Hi,
how to use spell checker without mouse?
And how to quickly change between languages related to documents, and be able to quickly get back to the main language setting that should be the default for the system?

If you are talking about input keyboards, this is controlled by shortcuts that are explained at the top right of system prefs/language & text/input sources.

Pages won't spell check after page 15?!?!

I have a pages document that will only underline or spell check words before page 15. After that, nothing is underlined or spell checked when right clicked on. Any ideas whats going on or how to fix it?

I have the same dilemma. The spell checker on pages seriously lacks.
Also i don't think my proofreader works. When I highlight a word and click proof read, it automatically skips to the next underlined word.
I'm about to go back to Word.
-- can't get no satisfaction.

You need to give more details:
1. What version of Pages?
2. Where did you get the Greek dictionary from and exactly how did you install it?
3. Are you applying the language to your text?

Mac Mail v. 7.1 (1827) spell checker makes spelling suggestions that are MISSPELLED!

I haven't been able to find this anywhere on the web so far, so thought I would post it here.
I am running Mavericks (v10.9.1) on a Mac Book Pro 17" (Early 2011).
When typing in Mac Mail (or Pages, etc.), my auto-spell check frequently makes suggestions that are misspelled. For example, I typed "availabillty", and the auto-checker suggested "AVAILABILTY"(!?!). The correct spelling, of course, being AVAILABILITY.
This has happened several times before, and I just didn't document any of the other misspellings. I will add others, if that makes a difference.
I've tried to find access to the library to make corrections to the internal misspellings, but cannot seem to find and assuming not accessible??
Please help! This is an incredibly annoying problem, making the spell-checking functionality essentially worthless having to stop and "spell-check the spell-checker" everytime.

Pedro,
Thanks, I apprecaite the info, but you did not address my question. The links you provided just explained the basics of spell-checking and how to do things like "learn new words". The do not provide any "information regarding what I'm trying to accomplish".
Perhaps I didn't explain my problem clearly enough: My problem is there are INCORRECT suggestions being made by the Apple spell-checker (or whatever library it's using). In other words, I'm spelling a word correctly, and the auto-spell-checker is suggesting incorrect spellings to my correctly spelled word.
What I'm trying to accomplish is getting misspelled words out of the auto-correction library (and also figure out how they got in there in the first place). Is there a way to edit the existing words in the spell-checking library (not just adding new ones, as the link you provided pointed out).
Thanks,
Dan
