Pagemaker can't find Dictionary Files

[swt]

I cannot Spellcheck my documents in Pagemaker as there seems to be a problem with the Dictionary files. The application just can't find them! How can I fix this? Am I able to find the Dictionary files (.bpx, .nfo, .vpx) on the Net? Will re-installing them to the right directory work?

Hi, Swt,

Make sure that a Dictionary has been selected in the "Paragraph" settings.

If none is present, you will need to install them from the PM application CD>

re spellchecking problem. I also cannot spellcheck. Updated to 7.01. Same problem. Checked if dictionary files present. Yes. UK English. Checked if dictionary selected under 'paragraph'. Yes. Dictionary is present, & works under PM 6.5Plus. Both PM 6.5~ and 7.01 work fine other than the dictionary problem with 7.01. Anyone have any further suggestions?
Thanks, Jim Wiltshire

I have the same problem with Pagemaker 7.
I posted a question back in April on this problem and received some suggestions, but none have worked. When I try to use spellchecker message indicates 'dictionary missing or does not support spelling'. I tried a reinstall ensuring I installed the dictionary...again, but no success. Thanks to persons who have responded to date. Any Adobe people reading this who might be able to help!!

Hi, Jim,

See if this helps:

Select Text tool.
Select all the text. (Ctrl+A)
Select Paragraph Specification. (Ctrl+M)

If "Dictionary" is blank, select "UK English" or whichever language is
appropriate.

Click OK.

Click on text with secondary mouse button.
Click "Spelling".

Spelling check should begin.

Imported text often does not have a dictionary/language attached.

Hi, Barb,

Load up PM but do not open any publication.
Select Paragraph Specification. (Ctrl+M)

If "Dictionary" is blank, select "UK English" or whichever language is
appropriate.

Click OK

This should set your default dictionary as "UK English"
