Appleworks 6 spell checker (spellchecker) window
Hi everyone,
Pages is ok (if you believe that all of your word processing functions should be sliced into tiny pieces of spreadsheet, documents, etc, sorry, ranting)... but I like Appleworks. So I imported Appleworks 6 over from my previous Macbook to this one.
There is one problem. When I try to spellcheck my documents, a tiny little spellcheck window appears up at the menu bar. When I say tiny, that is, it is so small that it does not show me the actual words being flagged or the options to correct them -- all that can be seen is "1 Questionable Word." I cannot figure out how to resize or edit or work with this window, so spellcheck is pretty unusable. My best option right now is to export a document into Pages, spellcheck it there, and return to AW. Not good!
(One of the issues I have with Pages is the lack of outline capabilities -- creating a document in outline form. And when I tried to copy my outline from AW to Pages, the outline formatting disappeared! But those are other problems for another day.)
I have spent about an hour searching these forums, am finally throwing in the towel & posting, seriously hoping anyone can help. Thank you for very much for your ideas!
