Spellchecker exception

I work on thousands of Illustrator files, often just proofing or looking for errors. The addition of the spellchecker was great for speeding up my visual scan of the files, but...

It works as it should in area text, but if there is point text with forced line breaks, every word at the beginning of a line which is not capitalised gets flagged as an error which defeats my quick visual scan.

I've had to write an action to select all text, convert it to area text, and then remove paragraph breaks so that I can see the spelling mistakes and typos. The downside of this action is that if there are legitimate paragraph breaks, I lose them too.

It would be useful to have a "don't check capitalisation" toggle, even if you spell it with a 'z'.

Thanks Monika,

I find feature requesting with Adobe SO painful. Oh for the days back in the 90's when I could just phone the engineers and ask 😉

You can join prerelease and still ask. https://adobeprerelease.com

 

But posting your request in this forum will just lead to nothing at all. The engineers do not read this forum.
