[Solved] Auto Spell Check Not Displaying Red Squiggle

Post by marena.lewis »

Spell check works when I run it, but when I create a document with a mis-spelled word it doesn't give me the underline squiggle that points it out.

I do have it set to show in red under appearance in tools/options, and I think it should be there by default because there no check box to select or de-select. Anyone have any thoughts?

Do you use a custom template? Have you set the language configuration? See that thread: [Tutorial] Spell check and Language configuration.
