Spell Check not working in Pages '08

Hi!

I've been working on a rather large document. it's about 120 pages and everything have worked great up until a week ago when the "check spelling as you write" started to ignore misspelled words. I'm in serious need of getting this problem fixed. I'm not from an anglo/american country so my english needs to get checked, at least if I'm to write with any speed.

Thanks in advance!

Double check that Inspector > Text > More > Language is set to English and not None.

When Pages is starting to misbehave you can delete the com.apple.iwork.pages.plist from User > Library > Preferences. Restart Pages

It's now fixed!

I had to open up a new document and save it with the language: English in the inspector. Then I copied the entire thing from the old document over to the new one and now it works perfect. I seemed as if the english spelling got lost for some reason for about 8 to 10 pages ago. Before the last pages the inspector shows "English" but then all by a sudden it says "None", I haven't done any changes I know that for sure, it's strange.

Thank for the help!
