Spell Check does not work after installing InDesign 15.0.2

re: InDesign CC 2019

 

Spell check is not working. I have read numerous forum posts and this appears to have been an issue for many for years. I don't know what else to check. I do think a picture is worth a thousand words … or in this case a single "word"

 

As you can see below, "word" is an unknown word with no suggestions.

hi srishtib8795206 and Mike Witherell​,

Thank you both for responding, after I posted my question, I kept digging for the answer and finally discovered that when I updated to CC 2019, the PREFERENCES–DICTIONARY–SPELLING drop-down was somehow set on USER DICTIONARY ONLY. Not sure how that happened but changing it to HUNSPELL of course resolved my issue.

I appreciate you stepping in to help.

Best,

V

Hello,

spelling correction no longer appears in InDesign 15.0.2 ... I obviously know how to activate it, but the underlining does not appear in the text, and I can't find a way to have it back... in other words, an incorrect word does not appear as such, with an underline, as it should be. Can you help me ?

Are you using View>Screen Mode> Normal

If you are using View>Scren Mode> Preview it won't show.

 

If that's not the case try resetting your preferences -

Spelling is broken in 15.02, it is a known bug, Adobe knows about it. You can either go back to 15.01 or wait for the coming update 15.03 (may take another six weeks). Or use 2019 which has fewer(!) bugs anyway than 2020...
