[SOLVED] All editable books have red underline

Post by Ronald.Alan »

Hi, I just updated theWord from an old version 5 to the current 6.0.0.1527. Now every editable book has a red underline under every word as if they are all misspelled. How to fix this, please?

Go to preferences -> Proofing tab, and turn off the "Check spelling as you type"

Thanks. That solved it. But is this a bug? The words were not misspelled.

I think that you perhaps need to add a dictionary on that tab? Do you see any there? If not you can download some from the Add Titles in theWord

I can't because that computer is not connected to the internet. I need to do it manually. So are there dictionaries for this to download off theWord website? I can't find them.

The installer contained one dictionary for English US spelling. What went wrong there? Did you not use the upgrade installer.
The dictionaries are only available via Add Titles

I downloaded the minimal installation file. Is that why?

I installed over top the old install.

Perhaps it is missing from that package. I know it is in the upgrade only package. Odd really that it was not put in the minimal install package.

So if I download and run the updater package, that should put in the dictionary?

Just as an FYI, I recently updated to version 6 with the minimal install package, and it still does not include a spelling dictionary.
