spell check not working
Have a brand new MacBook Pro w/ Retina Display and Spell Check in Pages does not work. I have ran all available software updates and the problem persists.
Edit \ Spelling and Grammar \ Check Document New (this function does not work)
Edit \ Spelling and Grammar \ Check Spelling While Typing (this does work)
I like to turn-off the check spelling while I write because I don't want to be slowed down by misspellings. I prefer to check the spelling in the document periodically.
I don't think there is anything wrong with the computer I think it's a glitch in the Pages program. The advertisements for Pages focus on how it's like a mini desk-top publishing program but if I wanted or needed a desk-top publishing program I would buy one. I just need a good word processor and if Pages can't manage to check spelling then it's no good. Writing is the most important thing I do on my computer and I am frustrated that I just spent over $1,500 when I could have bought a PC laptop with Word for a fraction of the price and not had this problem. I do not want to spend my time trying to troubleshoot this issue. I will probably spend more money and buy Microsoft Word for Mac and then in a few years, when it's time to buy a new computer go back to a PC. There is no reason to waste money on a high-priced computer that can't manage to have a properly functioning spell check.
Also Word has a better navigation pane that allows you to see your document headers and clicking on the header go directly to that section. Using this function in Word helps when working with large documents.
