In AppleScripting, the change to POSIX style basically means editing out colons in favor of forward slashes: HFS Paths (AppleScript Native): Use colons  :  as separators and start with the volume name (e.g.,  "Macintosh HD:Users:chris:Documents:" ).

Hi Robin, Did you set your Dictionary to Dutch New Rules 2005 while no documents were open? This will affect all future new documents. Older existing documents will have to have that setting given to them once they are opened because the Dictionary is an Application preference; not document-specific. In either case, the Hunspell checker is good to use. Also, are you setting the language in your Paragraph Styles within the document? If you are correctly using paragraph styles; are you careful to not allow the paragraph style to be based on "Basic Paragraph Style" nor an invasive-species style from Word named "Normal". Your paragraph style settings will be stable is usually based on No Paragraph Style. ... View more

Hi Juan, Did you set this up as an .INDDC file; a Adobe-cloud-stored file? Are you saying the InCopy-on-the-web is not working? Or did you really use Edit > InCopy > Export... in preparation for the other person using InCopy (not on the web)? The reason I ask is that you mention checking in and checking out a document. That is only relative to using InCopy + InDesign. Share with InCopy-on-the-web is a new and different feature that doesn't ask for checkin/checkout.  So, yeah. The two different things are confusingly named "InCopy" but they are different. Which one are you actually using?   Also, could you upload your screenshot again? It doesn't display. ... View more
