Turn off instant spellcheck in Basic client

Hi there,

our users are on 8.5 Basic client.

I’ve found information in the help files on how to switch off the instant spellcheck ( where you have the wavy red lines on words that notes doesn’t recognise).

However - in the basic client, you do not have the option under TOOLS - Instant Spell Check, to turn off. The option is greyed out.

My users are getting irritated by the function but I can’t seem to turn it off.

Anyone got a solution please?

cheers, Tom

Subject: Preferences Spell Check

Instant spell checking is an edit level action. The option is “grayed out” until you are in edit mode in the basic or standard client.

To enable/disable at a client level:

  • Standard Client bring up “File->Preferences” and select “Spell Check” look for attribute “Enable Instant Spell checking”

  • Basic Client bring up “File->Preferences->User Preferences” and expand International tab. Select “Spell Check” look for attribute “Enable Instant Spell checking”

Subject: thanks!

Many thanks for your reply.
