I have the latest version 5.3.2.2, but this issue was present with various previous editions as well. No part of the spell check is working on this program. Even though “correct as you type” is selected, which is actually the default anyway, it doesn’t work, nor does it work when trying to spell check a completely document. It just says “spell check completed” with no errors even with numerous errors present. Interestingly it does autoCapitalize the first letter of a sentence. That seems to be the only thing this program can do correctly. It’s not converting “th” and “nd” when referencing 2nd and 3rd, etc. Does anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this lingering issue?
