I can't get Illustrator to go to the word on the appropriate page when spell checking so I can correct it.

It finds misspelled words but won't direct me to them!!

I tried using spell check across multiple artboards in order to duplicate what you are talking about and found that you are correct. Illustrator will spell check across multiple artboards but unless you zoom out to a view where all artboards are visible you cannot see the highlighted words on any artboard other than the first one. As far as I can find there is no preference you can set for either the artboards or the spellcheck to make the spellcheck switch your artboards for you.

Just a gentle note: Can you now see that it is very important to describe issues as detailed as possible, as Monika already requested above?

Without knowing something about the actual magnification, your issue may be just not reproducible.

Or at least one may not expect that all forum participants do have so much time to try any possible scenario in order to guess unknown things based on imprecise descriptions.
