Hope21 Posted December 9, 2022 Posted December 9, 2022 I am trying to spell check my document on Affinity Publisher. I have done this before with no issue. However, when I select check spelling now, the word is highlighted, but no pop up appears to show me the options. I can right click and change the word manually but it then doesn't move on to another misspelled word. I can't find any advice online past what to do if it's the language settings that are wrong, but the spell check works usually and it is simply the pop up window that is missing. Thank you!

MikeTO Posted December 9, 2022 Posted December 9, 2022 Also, are you using Mac or Windows? Is the pop-up (context) menu not appearing at all or is it appearing but without the options to Learn or Ignore the word? If you're on macOS and the popup is appearing but without the spelling options, this is a known issue with the macOS spell checker and isn't an issue with Affinity. The workaround, until Apple fixes this, is to close the popup menu by clicking elsewhere and then right click the work again. It may take a few attempts to get it to work so it can be frustrating. I've seen this bug in Apple's apps, too, but it's more common in Publisher because the amount of content being spell checked is a factor in when it happens. walt.farrell 1 Download a free PDF manual for Affinity Publisher 2.6 Download a quick reference chart for Affinity's Special Characters MacBook Pro (M4 Pro, Tahoe 26.1) and iPad Air (M2, iPadOS 26.1)
johno60 Posted December 18, 2022 Posted December 18, 2022 I am having the same issue (Ver 1.10.6.1665) I have no way of of spell checking Windows OS Have opened a report just on two weeks ago and nothing. (I do understand they are busy, but..) I'll ask the same question here, if it's an issue with release (as it happened after update) will there be a further update, or do I need to bite the bullet and just buy Ver 2? Getting a little desperate here as I need to finish this book by Thursday (2 weeks ago wasn't so bad, although a slight case of panic is creeping in)
