Publisher V2 spell checker

[Limolb]

any idea why Publisher cannot find my dictionary (PC) to allow it to spell check as my spelling is good but my typing is disaterous.  Yep, I spelled disastrous wrong and the spell checker here picked it up,  yet Publisher fails to do anything ???

any help will be appreciated

First things to checke

Hylight your txt then in the caractor panal make sure the Languege Speling option it is set to use the laugauge you want to spel check it in

Also checke that..

Text > Speling > Check Spelking While Typinge

is ticked

thanks for this Carl but that is not the issue.  I get an error saying thee document contains languages (en-AU) for which no dictionary is installed.

Word and other programs have no issues, even when typing this reply the spell checker is active as I type.

any clues ???

en-AU is Australian English

If you want to type in Australian English, you will need to install that dictionary

If you don't want Australian english you need to find the text that has that language applied and change it

The Preflight panel might show you where that text is

If you want to install a dictionary, this FAQ provides the information. It's for V1 but also applies to V2: 

 The first post has instructions about where to put the dictionaries, and instructions for downloading them from GitHub. I recommend using the information about where to put them, but not downloading from GitHub as that is complicated to do correctly. Instead, you can download them from the second  post using the links there, which will automatically provide the files in the right format. You just need to create a folder in the right location and move the downloaded files into it.

Hi I am wondering how I can not have to set the language for every txt box and instead have it apply universally to the whole document. If I follow the instructions above I would have to do this for every single txt box? Or is there another way?

Hi there. Create a new document, draw a text frame, and select the language you want from Character > Language > Spelling. Choose Edit > Defaults > Save and it will be your new default going forward.

Hi @lonan.oisin,

Text boxes as you call the Text Frames do not have any actual text attributes. The language of the text box is going to be the language of the Text it contains.

In other words, use Text Styles to set the language.

thanks all, Walt and Carl got this right.   I installed a dictionary as they mentioned and all is working as it should in all applications

Walt / Carl.  I thought I sent a reply earlier saying you guys were spot on.  Looks like it got lost in the system (or I forgot to click on post like many emails I send but forget to push send  )

but thanks all
