A few places in my doc, the spell checker shows an entire paragraph and offers no options for what to do with it – it hangs, except that I can click on Options and then on OK, and at least it resumes. It’s always a hyphenated word, but some hyphenated words give it no problem, I can add them to the dictionary and that’s fine. But ‘non-fiber’ shows up again every time I run the spellcheck. Thoughts?

Tx. So this is nothing new, I’ll just live with it then.
I don’t get a spell check issue with non-fibre. If I write non-fiber and set the text to English (Canada) then I get a spelling error with the correction being non-fibre. A quick squiz at Canadian websites indicates that non-fibre is preferred/expected over non-fiber.
I guess that you have added non-fiber to a user dictionary but if I do that I do not see any problem arising.
Note that Ignore and Ignore All last only for the session, after the document is closed and re-opened the words will be flagged again.
Here’s a minimal example:

Yeah, I know ‘fiber’ isn’t Canadian, but I usually prefer American spelling.
BTW, when I upload, will you open it with all my settings integral? That is, if I have the problem you will have it too?
Sorry, I cannot reproduce the problem.
Try editing your user dictionary and delete all entries that look like non-fiber. From the Spelling dialogue, click the Options button. Select your first user defined dictionary and click Edit, go through the others.
You can add non-fiber back later.
That was easy! I just went in there and added the words manually and it’s fine. Funny tho, the way it feels the need to show me an entire paragraph. And a ‘Resume’ button would be nice, seems I have to quit spellcheck and start it up again. There were a few like that, but all had hyphens so I guess that is an issue.
