Odd behaviour when spell checking...

[Michael Moser]

I wanted to spell check a larger page. Things started fine but at some
point the spell check suddenly declared that I had no Italian dictionary
installed (?!?), that it could hence not continue and terminated the
spell check. Since then, when I restart the spell checker on that page,
it immediately declares being done and doesn't spell check again.

First: I certainly never ever declared my text as being in Italian - no
idea how ON comes up with that idea!
Second: I then selected the entire page and marked the language as being
US-English and then tried to start the spell checker again, but it keeps
immediately declaring "spell checking complete", even though I had tons
of red wiggles before starting this spell checking exercise.

What went wrong here and how can I force a re-check?

Hallo Michael,

I wanted to spell check a larger page. Things started fine but at
some point the spell check suddenly declared that I had no Italian
dictionary installed (?!?), that it could hence not continue and
terminated the spell check. Since then, when I restart the spell
checker on that page, it immediately declares being done and
doesn't spell check again.

Since starting with ON in an early Beta, I had been having serious
language presentation and spell-checking problems.
Most of those have been solved meanwhile.

I added the language icon in the task bar. It shows US English and
German and I can easily select one of those two languages (in addition
with showing all of the other languages in a drop-own listbox).

If problems appear, I just select the currently active *container* (not
the whole page), then change the language just for the respective
*container* and then change it back to the wanted language.

Maybe this would help you in your case too.
If not, pls ask again. A said, languages have bothered me from the very
first moment of using ON 2007 but it seems to work now

Liebe Gruesse
