h_d Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Depending on how you have your text styles set up, it may just be a question of editing Base, selecting Language and changing the Spelling option to None: (Choosing 'Dansk' may give you a true Danish spellchecker, depending on OS.) If all your text styles are based on Base, that single change should filter down to all of them. If you have created new text styles from scratch, you may need to edit them individually. Add: You can also turn off Check Spelling While Typing: Cheers, H Quote Affinity Photo 2.0.3, Affinity Designer 2.0.3, Affinity Publisher 2.0.3, Mac OSX 13, 2018 MacBook Pro 15" Intel.

Spell checking happens only if you ask for it. Preflight happens whenever you're exporting. For Preflight you can edit the Preflight options and disable the spelling check.

It should work, if properly installed, and if you properly set the language for spellchecking. We'll need more information to say more. Or, possibly, a sample document where the spellchecking does not work.

KimG Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Thanks, Walt, I am running Affinity Publisher 1.9.1 on Mac OS Big Sur 11.3 Beta on an M1 MacBook Pro. I think I got through the issues, that made me almost tear out my hair the other day, and will describe here how I did. 1) Check: System preferences for spelling in keyboard->text to select language automatically 2) In System Preferences, Languages and region - Check: Danish as primary system language, English secondary 3) I have downloaded and added the Danish dictionary to the Spelling folder and restarted. (as suggested elsewhere. I am afraid that it is necessary, even though the built-in dictionary is just fine and works perfectly with all other apps, as far as I have tried - for ages) Now for the fun part: 4) Start Affinity Publisher 5) make New Document (I use A4) 6) Go to palet Character->Language Now it says: Spelling: Unknown (en-DK): (Apparently it gets confused if the Application language is not the same as the system language… ) * result: Text is not spelling checked. 7) Change Language to Dansk or Dansk(Danmark) Then it seems to work, as shown here. A bit tedious to do this every time, though, so I will likely make a template for next time. (and keep this around to remind me how to do ) All other apps I use automatically pick up the language correctly, so if Affinity wishes to have international customers, this is a good place to enhance the functionality. One thing I need to mention, is also the Spelling dialogue, which in Publisher looks like this: but in other apps look like this. Do note the last line, where you can change language. So much easier than to hunt for the correct place hidden somewhere. I hope this will also help others in the same situation 🙂 walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
