Changing keyboard layout / input type stops spell checking

Jan Jekielek

Hello,

I have recently acquired a Polish language spelling dictionary for Office X,
which installs nicely into the standard location for dictionaries in "Shared
Applications." In Word, this dictionary works beautifully, but in Entourage
a strange problem emerges.

In Entourage, when I write using the US keyboard layout, I can spell check
fine using either the English (UK) or Polish dictionaries (but this latter
part isn't very useful, since Polish contains Central European font
characters). When I switch the Input Type to Polish, so I can write Polish
words correctly, whatever I type is ignored by the spell checker, using any
dictionary. It's as if the spell checker simply does not see any text
entered using the Polish Input Type.

Any ideas on how I can get the spell checker to recognise text entered using
the Polish Input Type, so I can actually use the Polish dictionary to check
Polish spelling?

Thanks a lot -- it's fantastic that this newsgroup is so active!

Best, Jan
