Loquos Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 One of the most tedious parts of finalizing a Publisher file for print is the last spell check. Inevitably, it flags all emails and URLs as unknown words. I have to go through all of these, ignoring or 'adding to dictionary' just to find the few outliers. Is there some way to tell Affinity to not bother with anything with an @? Or .com .net .org etc. in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Create a Character Text Style for your URLs and apply it to that text. In that text style, specify Language, Spelling as None.

I swear I'd never seen a Language option under Character, only under Paragraph, so I have a bunch of Paragraph styles that should be text styles... OMG. Snake would have bit me. So now I've done that, but it continues to mark them as incorrect unless I select reach one and reapply the style. Is there an 'update' button I'm missing?

Changing the language should take immediate effect, just as changing any other attribute of the character style would. But if you've also been trying to apply paragraph text styles with languages perhaps you've done an override to the character styles, requiring you to reapply them. Try it with some fresh text. If changing the language in the Character style doesn't take effect automatically you may have found a bug.

Loquos Posted February 10, 2021 Author Share Posted February 10, 2021 I didn't see any unusual overlaps, but I did have to manually refresh to get it to accept that I had changed the language. I'll mess around in the back end a bit more later, and see if I can discover the underlying problem. Otherwise, I'll report a bug. 🙂 Thanks!
