lgoodwin Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 How can I get Publisher to recognize that the time display x:xx (with\hours and minutes separated by a colon), is not a misspelling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 If you insert a time via a field - current, created, saved, printed - Publisher doesn’t count the time as text when it comes to the spell check but that’s probably not good enough for what you need. You can ‘trick’ Publisher into not marking a time such as hh:mm as a spell check issue by inserting a Hair Space (via Text → Insert) either side of the colon, e.g. hh<hair space>:<hair space>mm. (Doing the same using a Zero-Width Space would look better but it doesn’t work for some reason.) It’s not ideal but might might be okay for some purposes.

Joachim_L Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 How could numbers fail a spell check? I would call this a bug. Even dirtier workaround: Do a complete spell-check learning from 00:00 up to 23:59 Quote ------ Windows 10 | i5-8500 CPU | Intel UHD 630 Graphics | 32 GB RAM | Latest Retail and Beta versions of complete Affinity range installed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl123 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Set the spelling language to none for your "time" characters GarryP and Alfred 2 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...
GarryP Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Lovely. Works in a Character Text Style too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachim_L Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 No criticsm, but still a workaround and not a solution.
