Red squiggly line below the word "to" throughout the book.

In my FrameMaker book, I have a red squiggly underline below the word "to" throughout my book.  What is the cause and how can I fix it?

 

Thanks!

    It sounds as if you may have added the word "to" with a correction to your dictionary, though I've not ever seen this before.

    Perhaps you could look through your main and/or user .dct. files with a text editor (NotePad++, Notepad, for instance) to see if there are any entries that might explain the behavior.

    If you find the solution, please come back and update us!

    Thanks Matt. I will do that if I could find the dictionaries. I looked yesterday in the root C: for both Program Files, Program Files x86, and FrameMaker folder, and didn't find anything, yet. Didn't have a lot of time to search, so will look again, today.

    The attached popup displays when I attempt to add "to" to my dictionary.

    The error in the popup box says to deselet the corresponding Find setting(s) in Options, and I delected all of them, just to test it, and same corresponding Find setting(s) in Options popup displays.

    Try too or two (just kidding).

     

    Click in one of the paragraphs and bring up the Paragraph Designer. What language is the paragraph set for in the Font tab?

    English (US) is the language in the Font tab.

    Just to double-check, what about the Character Designer?

    A text range can have a different dictionary than the paragraph.
