Spellchecker glitch?

Post by ccardimon »

I'm running into a situation -- that repeats all the time -- where the spellchecker sees part of a word but not the whole thing, then declares it misspelled.

For instance, The word "Selecting" is not seen as a complete word. The checker saw only "Selecti" and ignored the remaining letters "ng."

I can get "Selecting" to pass, provided I backspace over the entire word and retype it. But in a project that prints at over 200 pages, this isn't feasible, and the Spellchecker is kicking out words right and left that it shouldn't be.

Any suggestions, hints, or tips would be appreciated.

If you open the topic in a text editor is there anything strange about the words causing problems?

That's my next step. This whole import has caused nothing but problems.

Found the problem. Looks like Salvador Dali threw up on my import. Lovely.
