Spell check not working

Could you describe what you do to spell check and what you do when you get the error tone. I have never had an error tone as far as I can remember.

Spelling when you doesn't correct anything but tells you with the red underline that something is wrongly spelled ( compared to the computer dictionary)

To diagnose Pages create a new user account on the computer and try out Pages log on the new account.

(2) If go to the Edit menu and select Spelling->Spelling... i get a grayed out dialog box and an error tone if I click on any of the buttons in the dialog box.

(3) "Check Spelling as You Type" is checked but I do not have any misspelled words appear with a red underline.

As far as I know, the behavior described in points 1 and 2 is not the normal one.

The one described as point 3 is normal if you selected none in the local menu of the Inspector > Text > More ruling the language used by the spell checker.

If we select none, the checker checks nothing so it underline nothing.

There isn't any problem when I do the same thing, using Pages text and Word text in a document. What you always have to do is select the imported text or all text and in the Inspector palette > T tab > More > Language which language you want it to use for spelling.

That's correct, select all text and hit English. Worked for me.

Hello Fruhulda

I strikes under Lion !

Yvan, I don't understand. strikes?

Hi Fruhulda

(1) I'm so afraid by the fact that the new keabord is really thin that it seems that I don't press sufficiently on keys so I miss some of them.

I was supposed to type :

It strikes under Lion !

(2) Here is what the dictionary states about the verb "to strike"

The described behavior appears when the app is used under Lion, not when it's used unde Snow Leopard.

Thanks for the clarifying, Yvan!

I wish there were several Pages forums as in " the old" times before the interface change.

Hello

As you know at this time the engineers are unable to give an easy entry point to

Keynote for iOS

Numbers for iOS

Pages for iOS

so, I guess that they will not give us one entry for the apps for Lion and one for the apps for 'old' OS.

I asked for this kind of interface:

But at this time, no luck.
