Can the spelling checker be trusted?

[Jenny Greenleaf]

Great ideas, thank you. Sadly....

I did do the option to reset all paragraphs. I even made sure to tear the pod away from the side so the sub-pod dialog might work.

The paragraph is set to US English. There are no overrides on it. 

The word can't be in a dictionary since the spelling checker correctly finds it when the cursor is placed in the same paragraph with the offending word.

Back to proofing....

So if the word is included in a paragraph that has already been checked and passed, FM will not find and flag the word. You can reset this behavior by going to Edit> Spelling Checker and clicking on the Dictionaries button. There you will find a checkbox for "Mark All Paragraphs for Rechecking." This clears the "already checked spelling" flags in the document. The downside is that the spelling checker will then refind any words that you checked before, but passed without actually adding them to your personal dictionary-- and you will be presented with them again.

If it is set to "None," FM will not check that paragraph for spelling, no matter what you do. Set it to a language and FM will use the appropriate language dictionary to check it.
