John Nolan Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Designer 1.7.1, Late 2015 iMac running MacOS 10.14.5 Attempting to access spelling options just gives the spell check dialogue, but options don't appear. I've tried the menu and the key command. What am I missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted July 9, 2019 Staff Share Posted July 9, 2019 Hi John Nolan, Welcome to Affinity Forums With the text frame selected, go to the Character panel (menu View > Studio > Character) and make sure that the Spelling dropdown in set to the language of your document in the Language section almost on the bottom.

John Nolan Posted July 9, 2019 Author Share Posted July 9, 2019 Hmm, not sure what to fix. Here's what I've got in the Character panel...I don't see any other English language options there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted July 9, 2019 Staff Share Posted July 9, 2019 Hi John Nolan,With the text frame selected, set the Spelling dropdown to English in the Language section of the Character panel (sometimes it doesn't stick at first - make sure that when you select the text frame the language displayed there is English (in this case). Then go to Text > Spelling > Spelling Options, it should now offer several choices/options for misspelled words.

John Nolan Posted July 9, 2019 Author Share Posted July 9, 2019 I'm still just seeing the blank dialogue like the one in my first post. The only English option I see in the English (Canada) one. I've tried selecting French, Dutch and German for the text, and still don't see any options when I select Spelling Options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
