Users often try to take advantage of Spell Check but they get anerrorbox sayingCorelWordPerfect Version executable has encountered a problem and needs to close. The program then closes and wants to send anerrorreport. This isn’t of any immediate help, so what can they do?
The latest versions also behave differently related to words beginning with capital letters especially. Moreover, testing Skip All in combination with Spell Checker options leads to conflicting results.
On top of that, WordPerfect isn’t picking up all spelling errors likeotherprofessional tools that catch any misspelled words.If you are also struggling to understand why Spell Check quit working properly, here we have jotted down the best potential solutions to troubleshoot this with ease.
Don’t hesitate to go through the fixes below as described.
What can I do when WordPerfect Spell Check is not working?
1. Untick Correct other mistyped words when possible
When the Spell Check feature continues to highlight words even after you tell it toSkip All, try unchecking the option that saysCorrect other mistyped words when possible. You may find it underTools > QuickCorrect.
In spite of using it for a long time, keeping it unchecked is recommended. If you keep it enabled, not only does it make WordPerfect ready to replace typographical errors that have only one possible correction without notifying you of the change, but it also changes proper names.
2. Install the Writing Tools for the proper language
If theCorrect other mistyped wordsoption is already unchecked or your problems go beyond that, go back to the basics. If you open a file that is written in a language that is different from thewriting toolsyou have installed, they run in the installed language.
For example, suppose you’ve installed the EnglishWritingTools and you open a French file. Language Codes may cause trouble as the writing tools run in English. You can only imagine the result. If you want to use the function in a different language, install theWritingTools for that language.
3. Take a closer look at some essential settings
You can also try to update the build of your WordPerfect program. And if you have recently installed Windows XP, learn a fewtips to keep using Windows XP foreverand do note that the two applications use completely different dictionaries for spell checking.
The quickest solution is to re-install the dictionary for WordPerfect. As always, you can let us know how it goes.
