kanihoncho Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 The spell checker for a text body does not work at all. I select the text then top menu > text > spelling > spelling options. I then get the pop up window that does nothing at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Can you give us a screenshot of the dialog you get? Which of the buttons have you used? (And also, do you have any misspelled words?)

kanihoncho Posted August 21, 2020 Author Share Posted August 21, 2020 None of the buttons do anything. I don't know if I had any misspelled words. You would think that if Publisher didn't find any misspelled words it would notify me like InDesign does . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walt.farrell Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 If there's nothing in that dialog, then it's possible you have nothing misspelled. Or, alternatively, as Patrick has suggested, perhaps you don't have a valid spelling language declared for that text.

walt.farrell Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 You could also open the Preflight studio panel and run a check. If there are any misspelled words you should fail the Preflight Check, with the default profile.

kanihoncho Posted August 21, 2020 Author Share Posted August 21, 2020 If the spellchecker doesn't tell you "there are no misspelled words" or "done", what's the point? If every new user of this function is going to post here with this issue, it sure is a lot of wasted effort . . . just a rhetorical statement . . .

walt.farrell Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Just now, kanihoncho said: If every new user of this function is going to post here with this issue, it sure is a lot of wasted effort I agree a message would be nice. But playing devil's advocate, it's clear that "every new user" of the function is not posting about this. I'm not sure why, but there could be a variety of reasons for that: Perhaps most users are using Text > Spelling > Check Spelling While Typing, rather than Show Spelling Options. Or, since the Preflight Checker was introduced, perhaps they're depending on the Preflight checks. (Based on posts in these forums, I've seen several users doing that.) Or, perhaps most of us end up with at least one misspelled word, so we never see the "empty box" situation you experienced, which seems to be a confusing one. The other confusing one, I think, is when you finish the spell checking using Show Spelling Options. In that case, the final word that was checked remains in the box, and you need to figure out that you should Close the dialog. Everyone using Show Spelling Options is likely to have hit that situation. Again, a message would be nice. The most relevant topic I see in the Feedback forum (which is used to request changes to the applications) is this one: You could contribute your thoughts about having a message to that one, if you want. No one there suggested a message.
