paulfromaustralia Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 G'day again from Australian. I am having an awesome time with Affinity Designer, but I am very much a newbie. I assume that I am doing something wrong, as I am unable to get the Check Spelling While Typing option to work :( The option is clicked in the Text/Spelling spot, but when I type in text nothing gets corrected. I this a senior's problem for me :), or is this a problem with Affinity 1,5,1,43 for Windows? I have Windows 10. Many thanks for your help and I look forward to hearing from you soon. Paul.

Staff Lee D Posted January 27, 2017 Staff Share Posted January 27, 2017 Hi Paul, Do incorrectly spelt words have a red underline to them as if they do this means they have been checked. If you then right click you get some suggestions that you can choose from or an option to learn or ignore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulfromaustralia Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 Hi Lee, Thank you for your response. I do not get any red underline. Unfortunately I feel that this is a bug in the Windows version, which from my viewpoint is a major one for me. Are you able to get someone with a Windows machine to confirm that this is a problem? Thank you. Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl123 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Highlight some text then make sure your language setting is actually set to a language If set to none you will not get the red underlining on misspeled words :ph34r: Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfred Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Alfred, you're right, thanks for the precision, I thought it was self-evident! It should be self-evident, but it's very easy to overlook that button and to assume that the file(s) you've chosen will automatically be included with your post.
