FM11 Spell Check Not Applying to All Paragraph Tags

Hi.

I have a document in which spellchecker doesn't seem to apply to text tagged with certain types of Paragraph tags. I can tell because if I intentionally misspell a word in one section, the word is underlined in red, but in another section with different para tags, the red underline doesn't appear, and spell check doesn't catch the words.

    FM has the behaviour of tagging prior spell-checked paragraphs as having already been spell-checked, so as to make it more efficient in long documents. However, doing any edits to such a pragraph, doesn't reset that flag and hence FM ignores those paragraphs the next ttime you run the spell-checker.

    You have to manually reset this in a very inuitive (not) place. In the Spell Checker, click on the Dictonaries option and then select the "Mark All Paragraphs for Rechecking" option.

    Thanks Arnis.

    It turns out that for some of the Paragraph tags in the doc, the "language" was set to "None" in the Paragraph Designer > Default Font menu.
