Will Pages 2.0 have Norwegian spell check possibilities ??

Can I tell my wife that upgrading to Pages 2.0 solve the spell check issues?
We were very dissapointed to find that Pages was sold in Norway, without support for Norwegian.
Even bigger dissepointment: I cant replace the useless spellchecker with aspell, as I can do with other programs like "Impress".
So, has this been fixed, or at least can I use "aspell" ???

Why isn't there a norwegian spell check on the IPad
Since it's listed as present in the tech specs, you should have it:

Are you aware that spell checking follows the keyboard?  You must be typing with the Norwegian keyboard layout to have Norwegian spellcheck.  Except for iWork apps, which have a bug where spellcheck follows the OS language.

  • When will a Norwegian spell checker be included in OS X?

    I wonder when Apple will supply a Norwegian spell checker with its OS. For someone who communicates in both English and Norwegain on a daily basis, a built in Norwegian spell checker would be nice. I have found a third party work-around, but it is not satisfactory. Ironically, my iPhone has a built in spell checker which seems to work perfect. Why not use the same for OS X?

    Exactly six months have passed since I posted the above asking Apple for a Norwegian spell checker to be included in the OS and their other software. According to the stats, more than 90 people have viewed this post, but zero answers. This means, that if anyone at Apple has read my post, they have avoided responding to the issue. When Mountain Lion was released this summer, I was an early adapter and the first thing I checked after installation was if Norwegian was included in the OS spell check languages. Not surprisingly, I was disappointed.
    Yes, there are third party spell checkers, but they do not work very well. Not consistent and have flaws. So, Apple developers, if you read this, please respond and answer why we are still waiting for this spell checker?

  • How do I turn auto-correct off and still have a spell check?

    How do I turn auto-correct off and still have a spell check?

    I do not believe this.. you can not disable auto correct without disabling the spell checker.. I am struck dumb by this.. I recently bought a mac for the first time.. ive always used windows.. there are more thngs like this than i expected.. I actually find this so ignorant I am lost for words.. this auto correct is a nightmare for me.. and has already caused me a lot of trouble because I have sent emails where words have been changed and i didnt notice and I have unknowingly insulted people.. i use a regular spell checker quite often but apparently I simply have no choice with safari.. oh well I am going to have to find another browser then.. goodbye safari!.. I also use a lot of shortened words and names etc etc.. like for eg I used the shortened word for problems "probs" and it changes it to "probe" and then i go back and change it back to WHAT I WANT TO SAY and it changes it AGAIN!!!!
    Does anyone else feel like this is yet another example of how, more and more, we are being treated like morons?
    Ok I'll try to stop ranting.. the real point is it should be possible to have a spell checker without auto correct..

    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.
    * 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:

  • Pages Alert "Couldn't contact Spell Checker."

    Out of the clear blue, after much use, Pages 3.0.2 Gives me an Alert "Couldn't contact Spell Checker" and the Spell checker does not work anymore in pages. However, the spell checker woks in all other programs I use. How do I get the spell checker back in pages?
    I've cleaned caches and repaired permissions and no change. English is the language being used.
    Thanks

    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.
    But I don't think that's the problem you're experiencing. I've seen several users here with the problem of the spell checker not working in Pages. All of them were fixed by deleting the com.apple.iwork.pages.plist found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences & then restarting Pages.

  • Stop pages resume, when i reopen + spell check.

    Hi everyone :-)
    When i've turned of my mac, and power it back up, and launch pages, it opens your last opened document... How do i stop that, and make it open the template at launch?
    My spell check is all over the place. Suggesting words from many languages, plus it says words, that are correctly spelled, are wrong?
    Please help,
    - nfxnru

    Which system are you on? Snow Leopard, Lion?
    In Pages you change the opening document in the Preferences. Click on Choose if you want to do a change.
    Concerning the spell check problem I am not sure  understand your description. Could it be that you have chosen All in the Inspector palette > T tab > More > Language > All?

  • Mac computers have no "Spell Check" feature?

    Unlike Windows, Mac computers do not have a tool bar with "Spell Check," or at least when I'm on some popular forums I can't find it.  It's very disappointing.  And yes, I see the independent spell check feature on this Best Buy forum, but Mac computers do not have tool bars with the standard, always displayed "Spell Check."  ... or does it?  Maybe I can't find it.
    Thanks to all for any assistance.

    According to the brief web search I performed, Safari has built in spell checking. Many other programs available for the Mac have built in spell checking as well; just like PC, it's dependant on the application. In this sense, there is no difference between the PC and the Mac.

  • Spell checking in other languages using Pages for iPad

    Does anybody know how to spell check a document in a language other than the primary language? For example the iPad is using English but I want to write a letter in German.
    This was simple to do using Pages on the Mac. So far I'm stumped.

    Did you actually try this with Pages?  In the past this app had a bug where switching the keyboard did not work, you had to switch the OS language, as was stated earlier in this discussion.  If that is now fixed, that is good to hear.

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

  • Is there a spell check in Danish in iWorks 09 Pages?

    I have used the T>more>language>Danish, but it doesn't underline in red when a word is misspelled.
    Perhaps one needs to buy the Danish version of Pages, does anyone know if spell check really works in Danish?? thanks

    HI aabenraa
    Welcome to the forum.
    There is no "Danish" version of iWork they are all the same.
    Pages works by styling text as a particular language, so you need to have the text you want to be Danish selected when you choose Dansk in the Text inspector.
    I just tested it with known Danish, and some German as well just to see, and it seems to flag the German as misspelt. It ignores English even in Danish text so it seems to always check English as English, assuming the text to be bilingual.
    I tested it on the Danish words which passed spellchecking, by altering a vowel here or there and it correctly flags those as spelling errors with red underlining.
    I am not Danish so can go no further, maybe fruhulda, can give better advice.
