Why Doesn't Spell Check Work In Excel

Using Open Office has saved our company thousands in licensing fees. Everyone in our organization uses it and we have yet to run into a compatibility issue when sending files to our clients. Sometimes we’ve found that the spell check doesn’t install properly initially and it is necessary to manually set it up. You’ll need to install the dictionaries and ensure spell check is enabled.

Every since then, almost a week, my spell checker no longer works. This is very frustrating! I have checked the language and it says english, I have checked my preferences and everything seems to be okay under there too.

The best tool even better than iMovie should be a free video editor equipped with decent features with logic design under the hood. Full support for 8K, 5K, 4K Ultra HD, HD videos in XAVC, ProRes, HEVC, MKV, H.264, AVCHD, any formats from GoPro, DLSR, drones, mobiles; 2. Wide range of options to cut, trim, merge, rotate videos, add subtitles, adjust video display (brightness, contrast, hue etc.); 3. That's why is on the top of this list.

Here’s what we did to get it going. Note: You will need to be connected to the Internet so the dictionaries can download.

Go to File -> Wizards -> Select your language -> Click the “Start dicOOo” button. Now follow the prompts until it asks you to restart Open Office 3. Once restarted go to Tools -> Options -> Language Settings 4. Under Writing Aids verify/modify the settings and click OK. Under Languages verify/modify the settings and click ok. Outlook for mac stopped downloading emails in yahoo. You should be good to go.

I had to modify mine in one more spot because my Locale is different (long story). Under Format -> Character -> Font the “Language” setting should match what you set in your Language Settings -> Languages Now any new document you start will have spell check enabled.

The dictionary app is working. I would love to hear if any body has any ideas. Seems like there are a few of these threads popping up recently; I wonder if it has to do with an update?

-d Do you have the TextEdit Preference box, 'Check spelling as you type' checked? In the Dictionary Preferences, do you have the Contextual Menu selected?

But if I do the same in Mail, or Text Edit, there is no red line.

Even if I then go to edit and choose 'Check document' it still will not highlight the misspelled word (nor does it do it in Safari as I just misspelled misspell). Yes I have the option checked to check spelling as I type. You might see if trashing the following local user.plist files helps: com.apple.Dictionary.plist com.apple.DictionaryServices.plist You can also create another user and see if the problem exists with the new user which will delineate between a system and a local issue.
