Hi there, 

 

I've researched it and I painstakingly applied French as an "Advanced Character Format" to every single one of my many, many paragraph styles in the French book I am designing in Adobe InDesign 2020 (with an English menu) on my Mac running Big Sur 11.2.3

 

I also went into Preferences and chose the French dictionary, here are pictures of my settings, and the last photo is the spell-check window, which is now checking on English (UK) dictionary. Before all my changes it was running the English (US) dictionary. 

 

What am I doing wrong, and why isn't it spell-checking using the French dictionary which I selected?

Did you make these preference changes with the document open? If not, and the file existed before you set them, they will not apply.

This actually worked! I just redid the document entirely and now it's spell-checking in French. Thank you, friend!

What happens if you click on the suggested correction (which is correct)?

Hi there friend! 


if I click on it, it moves to the next one, which doesn't recognized the past tense of "venir" (to come) as "venu" and wants to correct it, in English, as "venue" see the screenshot below:
