electricarts Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Hi, what does this red underline means when working with text? In this example it only appears on one word (of 5) in the same document. Mario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Harris Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 It means you have Edit/Spelling/Check Spelling While Typing checked, and the underlined word isn't in the OS X spell-check dictionary for the text's language. You can change the language with the Character panel. "Coaching" isn't a spelling mistake in British English, so it may be the language that is wrong.

CartoonMike Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 It's spellchecking. Right click on the word and you should get a menu where it suggests alternative words, accept the spelling as is or learn the spelling. In my test, "Coaching" wasn't flagged as a misspelling, but it depends on the dictionary that's in use. (Simultaneous postings, Dave's post is more complete than mine.)

electricarts Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 Ah, thanks. Didn't have a entry in the right-click menu related to spellchecking. Only Arrange, Alignment an so on. But change the language in the Character Panel to English (nothing was selected) "removed" the red line. Thank you both for help.
