Thanks Jon P

Whilst trying to resolve a spell check issue I looked in the Publisher help file and saw an option that I can't access. Check Spelling In—sets the scope of the spell check. Select from the pop-up menu. I don't have this option when I go to Text > spelling. I only have Show spelling options, Check spelling, Check spelling while typing and Ignore miss spelt words which is greyed out for some reason.

Sorry for the error had a late night. Yes you have sorted it. Many thanks Alfred.

I am still having issues with the spell check Beta 399 Windows 8 I have 'the society' in my text. It will not ignore the apostrophe 'the Also it will not learn. I thought the problem was resolved in the previous beta but sadly not.

Thank you Joachim_L, I realised I was posting in the wrong forum after I posted my question.

Is there an option in Publisher for a word count, have I missed it somewhere?

Thank you the fix in 384 has resolved my spell check error where it was checking a page of text and dive off somewhere else. Also without changing any settings the spell check is now learning and saving new words.

Hi still having problems, here are the files sorry about the video not used this before thanks; Vol 34 1 Aug 2019 spel check errors.afpub affinity spell check errors.avi

I have just copied some of my text with unusual names into a new document and Publisher found them and added to the dictionary. Will have to have a play about.

Hi Wild Cottage, I typed some miss spelt text in to your newsletter with check while typing. It underlined the wrong text but would not find an alternative. I also tried as suggested in the help page highliting the word and right clicking to bring up the spell check but nothing happened. It kept defaulting to Oystercatcher.

I also have problems, the spell check is set to English the Characters are set to English UK, check while typing is turned on. but is not learning any words it just keeps showing the same words.. Also if i am checking a story in say page 10 it decides it wants to check page 2.and as above keeps checking the same words on that one page. This is happening on Beta 337 on a W7 pc also in the latest Beta 371 on a W8 pc.

Mine works fine W7 and W8

Thanks Dominik
