Thanks for the reply. I assume that it refers to space between characters. I tried your suggestion and it worked fine. Thanks.

M.S. Word has an advanced option "Don't expand character spaces on lines that end with Shift + Return. I am looking for a way to apply the same option in Publisher, but I can't find it. Can you help me?

Finally, success! I misunderstood the FAQ. Publisher's dictionary directory was the right one (not Affinity / Common / etc.). Much thanks!

To Psenda (Eternal Beginner): Sorry about that. I hope I have the right person now, and I thank you for your patience. The names of the files in the default folder are en_CA.aff and en_CA.dic. I deleted the files in the default folder and started again. In my latest attempt, after I downloaded your files again, I unticked the option to ‘Hide extensions for known file types’, but I found no hidden .txt extension. Once again, after re-starting the application I am still receiving the "Unsupported languages" message. I'm thinking I'll have to give it a rest after this post. Thanks for trying!

In my previous reply to all, I indicated that I downloaded your files and installed them as my second option. I only received your post with the files after finding your instructions to download the files manually, The files you sent went straight into the default folder, but I had to add the .dic extension to the en_CA file. That file was automatically saved as a txt file type when I clicked the link. The en_CA.aff file was automatically saved as an AFF file type when I clicked the link. Sorry if my post was misleading in some way, it was not intended. In summary, both attempts to install the files have not had any success.

Reply to All: I followed Leigh's instructions--RAW files--right-click--download etc. The files were saved in the default folder. The file types were both .txt, but no file was appended with a .txt extension in the default folder. I restarted the application, opened Text / Spelling / Check Spelling, but I still got the same message ("Unsupported languages. Document contains languages (en-CA) for which no dictionary is installed"). So I deleted the files and installed Leigh's files. One file type was saved as an AFF file. The .dic file was saved as a txt file and I had to add the .dic extension in the default file (ProgramData / Affinity / Common / 1.0 / Dictionaries). And again, the same "Unsupported languages" message appeared after I restarted the application and tried to use the spell-checker. Admittedly, I'm a user with less experience at such things, but, after several attempts, if I'm still doing something wrong here, I don't know what it is. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the quick reply. I followed the link you provided and ended up there for the English dictionaries. I found two links for the .aff and .dic files, but I can't make any sense of them. Do I copy / paste something? Is there a download file that I'm not seeing? If you could push me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again!

I'm getting a message when I try to use the spell checker. It reads: "Unsupported languages. Document contains languages (en-CA) for which no dictionary is installed." My Dictionary Folder is empty (ProgramData\Affinity\Common\1.0\Dictionaries). Is there an (en-US) dictionary I could download? (Windows 10).
