Spell Check in Mail not working
I'm back. Still no luck getting spell check to work. With all the things I've tried, I'm sure it is now isolated to a operating system based problem. The spell check on InDesign works, but mac mail, text edit, and Open Office.org which all access the OS based spelling function don't work. Not only will they not do dynamic spelling, you can't highlight and tell any of these programs to check the spelling. That doesn't work either.
I am running 10.6.8 on an iMAC 27" that is three years old. I have kept up with my updates as they have come available, and my 3 year warranty just ran out in Nov. this year. I would like to figure out how to fix this without having to wipe the hard drive or anything else that is so radical it might take me days to restore all my functionality.
Any suggestions? Run the utilities and repaired permissions, restarted holding down the shift, etc. and nothing has helped.
thanks,
Kathy
