Orthographic corrector OSX will not forget incorrectly entered word

So, I'm still relatively new to OSX but get in the swing of things being a power user. Anywho a type a message in Chrome and went to automatic correction of a word misspelled, low and here is because I clicked a little to fast he gets add'd to my dictionary. Huh what the right biggy an easy thing to change? Well well not at all as I learned. So to make it simple, I found a guide on how to get deleted a Word from the user's library and then spelling and the Local edition dictionary. Enough just to hard. However, here is where the problems begin. First off the first guid found landed me with that. I've been unawhere until after this you must use an Apple App as Pages or TextEdit to forget the words. In any case, I edited the file, no change my mac said even the word was legitimate. So next I tried to close all kill AppleSpell as the proposed guide and reboot still nothing. Since she had only one word and another here in that I had added just thought that to delete the file, nope, try AppleSpell new nope. Since then, I have spent hours looking Chrome all over the internet and the system for such a simple thing. The point is that it is almost as if the word which, incidentally is belive (I'm Dyslexic fairly common error to me) drilled his way into the heart of the system. Essentially control by clicking on it deleted the file I get no option to forget it, but it is not underlined as bad at all. If as if I add it back (it's in textedit) it gives me the opportunity, however after that clicking on it nothing happens I click again no option to delete, without red underline anything. IM baffled to see Chrome the Word as bad again, but the rest of the system still after several reboots cleaning secrets (with ccleaner). Unless this word has a real meaning and is a real word in the dictionary of OSX that the *!

I am basically asking long time mac guys out their being relatively new to OSX, and to a certain extent, Unix, Linux etc (started a course of computer science at the College in September) how can this be corrected? It may even be? Maybe this isn't as something of important majorly but I am one of those guys who loves a PC well sorted and organized and little niggles like this are what I hate more, one to be reason why I had a mac for work (although when it comes to early programming our do us c# on windows). Any suggestion would be greatly received, if you're wondering what I got is a the last El Capitan 10.11.3 running 2015 13inc MBP.

The procedure you describe works and I can confirm that it works in El Capitan 10.11.3 on my installation. Voluntarily, I learned a word bad spelled and confirmed that it has been added to the ~/Library/Spelling/LocalDictionary file. Then, I confirmed that the word has been accepted as spelled correctly in a window of text entry in the Safari browser. Then I edited the LocalDictionary file to remove the word bad spelled and killed AppleSpell process. The word is now marked as wrong spelled.

It does not work. Why you have a problem is the question. What is the word that you accidentally added to the dictionary?

  • Try to copy a newspaper online article, but it will not stick to a word document.

    I'm trying to copy a newspaper online article, but it will not stick to a word document.  Have done this for years without problem. Windows want to now restore to an earlier date and send an error report.  I use Windows XP

    The problem is that the NTN online newspaper is displayed as a Flash video, which essentially cannot be copied and pasted.  Because you said that you have been copying things over the years, I guess RTN has recently changed how they provide the journal online.

    You have two options.

    1. you can print the pages in which you are interested and keep in a file or loose-leaf notebook.  Use the 'print' in the journal view, not your browser file > print menu or the browser print icon.

    2. download and install free CutePDF Writer and the free converter of GPL Ghostscript of CutePDF.  It's probably better log on as a user with "computer administrator" privileges to proceed with the installation.  Check the FAQ.

    After installing CutePDF Writer, whenever you print something, will be one of the choices for the printer to use CutePDF Writer.

    Then, print the pages of the newspaper online RTN 1 above, but use CutePDF Writer rather than your 'real' printer  A dialog box opens asking you to designate a file name and a location where the result will be stored.  After a while, you will have a PDF of your selected pages (rather than a Word document).

    Most people have already installed the Adobe Reader app for free.  If you do not, you can get it here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/ don't forget to UNCHECK the box which installs McAfee Security Plus.  Or, if you want a smaller, faster, less intrusive pdf reader, Foxit Readerfree software.

  • Orthographic corrector OE does not not after installing Word

    After formatting the drive, I installed Windows XP and its updates including SP 3.  Outlook Express spell check worked only in French.  I installed an older version of Word.  Now spellcheck OE will not launch even if it lists the English of the United States as the default language (Tools, Options, spelling, default language).  How can it be fixed so it works as it did before you reformat the HARD drive?

  • 6380 will not print envelopes from word

    6380 into one ask for photo paper when you try to print envelopes from word. If I put the piece of paper in the photo tray is printed on this paper. Does not print the envelope on full text information in the main tray. If the photo tray is empty says photo fill tray. Same program will print envelopes on my printer Hp 6120 is connected to the computer.  6380 has been printing large photo and web pages and copy paper analyses, also has Word correctly printed pages. I guess I will need to replace the older jet desktop printer ink I planed to faze out. So much for the upgrade.

    I found that when configure envelope printing in WORD it selects the photo tray for food (with 6380 all-in-one), this causes the alert: photo error empty of the status bar if photo paper is not loaded.   If I select the main tray feed in the printing options when you configure envelpoe print. WORD cautions that it's not the tray THAT Word has chosen for this printer. But it works and I can print my envelopes.

  • User Windows will not forget ADE

    Have a lot of problems with my Adobe ID and Adobe Digital Editions. Tried to uninstall computer (six or seven times) but every time I reinstall, it's as if I never uninstalled it, my ID is automatically connected so my problems (My Kobo does not recognize new books transferred even if it worked fine last night). I tried something new and a new Windows user and signed in my Adobe ID and it worked. It solves my problem only temporarily because my books are all on my another Windows account and I'm not going to create a new windows account each time that ADE no longer works and I have to uninstall it. I saw on the forum that the initial problem happens a lot and a lot of people (books library not recognizable Kobo when Adobe ID has not been changed, Kobo or on computer). Is there anyway to make my computer (windows account #1) forget that I ever had of ADE intalled?

    Thanks for your help!

  • PDFmaker addin will not auto-charge for Word

    Using Office 2013 and Acrobat Pro 11.0.08. Until this week, the PDFmaker add-in is always enabled in Word. Then it was a mistake to make a merger in PDF format.

    Now, every time I start up Word, PDFmaker shows as inactive ("' load behavior: unloaded" ") until I go to file | Options | Add-ins and tick the box to load. Then, it works fine until I'm close Microsoft Word and have to do it again.

    How to auto-charge? I can't find a place to set it.

    You can solve this problem by changing the registry entry "LoadBehavior".  The value must be 3 (loading at startup).

    With office of 2013, the registry key is to

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Word\Addins\PDFMaker.officeaddin

    A note: the Add-In was loading when I ran as administrator, but not when I opened just a Word doc.  I checked this same registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE key and it has been fixed at 3.  I guess that's the reason why it worked when run as administrator.  For some reason any the LoadBehavior key had been reduced to 0 on my HKEY_CURRENT_USER registry key.

    However, the fix above will work because I just tried it on my machine and another one here in the office that had the same problem.

  • After that 8.01 updated the former saved passwords autocomplete but new sites will not display the ' remember me ' box. If the site has own box "remember me", it works. All my tools settings please remember passwords. How to make back box "remember me"

    For sites with a previous version, I deleted all cookies, bookmarks, and the old passwords and restarted. No luck.

    Some sites such as Windows Live (Hotmail) use JavaScript to create the input form and the Firefox password manager does not work in cases like this. You can use the extension to save the name and the password in such a case, you will not forget them, but Firefox doesn't fill them even if it was recorded.

  • The file does not open in Microsoft Word

    When I try to open an online text document, it will not open in Microsoft Word. How can I change this?

    Go to start / Default programs / associate a file or Protocol with a program and do scroll up until you get in .txt.  It's probably on the notebook.  Click on change and change for Microsoft Word (you may need to search for winword.exe somewhere in Program Files) and save your work and exit.  In the future, .txt files will be opened with Microsoft Word.

    If this happens with the .doc, .docx, .rtf, or other files that MS Word can open, and then do the same with these types of files that you did with .txt above.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck! Lorien - MCSA/MCSE/network + / A +.

  • 10.11.2 OSX (El Capitan) will not synchronize with Apple Mail Hotmail

    Mac Book 2012, SSD 256, 8 GB Ram Just reloaded El Capitan 10,11,2 on SSD, naked

    SSDS are erased and reinstalled 10,11,2 to see if this would help... it didn't.

    Problem started with Yosemite and continues in El CapitanSystem I cannot add my hotmail for Apple Mail, Outlook or Thunderbird account!

    Example of an error message:

    System is "Unable to verify the account name or password" only on accounts Hotmail/outlook! All my other 5 accounts are added without problem! 

    I tried shortening hotmail password and renewed by password Microsoft 5 times in the last 24 hours, with no result!

    Help, please.  I've deliberately not migrated by user settings of my recorded image of the SSD drive before the clear operation just so I would not import corruption.

    What is a corrupted installation of 10.11.2?  If something is poisoned in my keychain?  Is this a known problem in OSX 10,11,2?  I am at my wits end because I love Apple Mail structure and have used for the last 5 years; all my files are organised in it, I want TO use it; but the system simply does not permit a connection to hotmail.

    I had this same problem on my iMac since the installation of El Capitan.  Never had a problem before this date.  I finally got Hotmail to synchronize, changed the process except mail leaves and fresh to add a Hotmail account.  It took several attempts, so no idea why it worked finally.  Now it syncs automatically not when I run Mac mail, but I can choose manually sync by right click on my hotmail account in Mac mail and it syncs correctly most of the time.  If it's not I pulled out and restart Mac mail then sync again manually.  Not an indoor pleasure, but it works.  I have no problem using hotmail on my windows PC.  After manual synchronization, I sometimes get an error when you try to delete or move a mail electronic hotmail to another folder.  I just wait until the next time I quit mail and restart to try again.  Something is certainly wrong somewhere.  Same problem with Thunderbird, but will have to re-enter the password manually to synchronize, memory of password never works, so it is not limited to Mac Mail, but is a Mac related issue.

    Make sure that your Mac can run El Capitan > OS X El Capitan - technical specifications

    If your Mac meets the requirements, reboot your Mac and try again.
