Can the spelling checker be trusted?

[Owen, Clint]

We are still on FM 7.0, so this might not be applicable. We are also
still on Win XP

The behavior of spell checker described below sounds a lot like
something that used to happen when I was using spell check and
find-and-replace over and over on a very large document with lots of
instances of the search objects. After working intensely for several
hours, FM would suddenly stop finding things that I knew were there,
such as words misspelled certain ways or just text that needed to be
replaced. It was as if some buffer had become filled up and it could no
longer hold the found items, so they were ignored. If I closed all of
the files and restarted FM everything went back to normal.

HTH,

Clint

FM 9, fully patched. Running in a VM under Fusion on a MacBook Pro.

Yikes!

I was preparing a book for PDF production when I noticed a spelling
error: include was spelled "imclude".  I knew I had spell-checked the
book numerous times and didn't understand why this was still there.

I tried a few things:

Starting from a file at the beginning of the book, did Spell Check for
entire book. Did not find error.

Starting from first page of the chapter that contained the error, did
Spell Check for the document. Did not find the error.

Positioned the cursor in the same sentence as the error and did Spell
Check.  Found the error. 

I have been caught off-guard a couple of times with typos in the past
few months. As a result, I've been especially diligent about running the
spelling checker. I am not sure what to think about this, but my
confidence in the spelling checker is declining rapidly. 

I am not thrilled about checking every page in a book. 

Any ideas what would cause this?  The word in question is in the first
line of a page and the paragraph has an anchored frame. Other than that,
it's just a word in a sentence.
