Hey guys, a little late to the party here, but I came across this because I suddenly had the problem this week with valid words being shown as misspelled (yes, my project language is set to US English).

The only thing I could think of that had changed was that I had allowed Adobe Updater to install the 7.03 patch. I had never installed it because the changes listed in the readme didn't affect me.

So I uninstalled RoboHelp 7.03 through Add and Remove Programs, then 7.02 just to be sure. Then I reinstalled 7.02 in the hopes that the previous dictionary would be restored. Nothing changed, so I figured I'd have to live with it.

However, after shutting my computer down for the night and then coming back today, I don't have the problem anymore. So this seemed to confirm my guess that the 7.03 patch is somehow breaking the dictionary. So avi, maybe you installed 7.0.3 without realizing it. Go to Help > About in RH to check your version. If it shows 7.03, try what I described above (including restarting your computer) and see if that fixes it.

Hope this helps,

Ben

You could be right Ben but I also hit the problem with RoboHelp 8 when some very basic words were shown as misspelled. I was given to understand the dictionary is a common component with other Adobe programs and without any patch to RoboHelp 8, the problem seems to have gone away. That makes me think it was some other Adobe update that fixed it for me.

That or the elves are having a party!

Hey Ben

I thought you adopted the flag of a different ship these days? What happened? Did the Flare fizzle?

Hi there

Perhaps check to see what language is configured?

To check this, click File > Project Settings...

Cheers... Rick

Is this "OK I no longer have an issue" or "OK the correct language is set but I still have misspelled words." If the later, check your Tools > Spelling Options to see what dictionaries are being used. Would you have reinstalled RH lately? If so, your personal dictionary may have been overwritten.
