Otto Manuel Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Hi, I appreciate the fact that Affinity Designer has a nice spellcheck features. I sure need it, but sometimes I am using a word that is not recognized as correct spelling but that's the word that needs to be used. What is the easiest way to deal with this? My instinct is to right click and dismiss the warning. Another option I have seen in text editors is too right click and add the word to the white list. The best I can figure out is that I need to open Designer's Text Character dialog and set spell check to "none". This seems to work, and it seems to just affect the text you have selected so spell check continues to function on other text instances. Is there a faster way to turn off the warning? Thank you!

Otto Manuel Posted October 30, 2020 Author Share Posted October 30, 2020 Great news. The caveat seems to be that you must have ithe text tool instantiated to get to the contextual right click menu that you have pictured. I looked in the manual before posting here and did not find this info by searching "spell", "spelling" or "spellcheck". Thank you for your help. I think what was happening is that the warning does not display until you exit the current text box, which I usually do by instantiating the select tool. The select tool right click context doesn't offer the spelling options so I missed the pertinent menu. Thank you! Joachim_L 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Manuel Posted October 30, 2020 Author Share Posted October 30, 2020 I defer to you on this. My experience has been limited to working with single word phrases, so I have not witnessed what happens when you use the space or punctuation characters. What you describe seems like it is helpful functionality. I am glad to learn about it. Thank you for sharing the insight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
