Spell Checker

[_David_Mayhew_]

I would like to see Adobe add at least a passable spell checker. For example, if you transpose a couple of characters in pointer ("poitner") the top replacement options "peignoir", followed by such close matches as: "pander" (same first and last 2 letters), "buttoner", (same last 2 letters and they both have an 'o', an 'n', 't', as do thousands of other words, I assume random selection here), "bonder", and my favorite "bindery". "Pointer" is not even in the offered replacement list.

I would like to see a focus on basics. It is hard to continually upgrade at $300-400 when so little attention is paid to such common features. When people translate .fm to .pfd and import into Word in order to achieve acceptable levels of spell-checker capability (as another poster on the web suggests is the best solution), something is absolutely lacking.

Oops, that should have been - "Pointer" is not in the list. As we can see I am very dependent on spell checking.

I agree.

I would like to see a spell checker that works with the Swedish (and other Nordic) alphabets. As it is now, our special letters å, ä and ö are replaced in the dictionary with for instance \x8a instead of ä. As the word in a dictionary can only be 20-25 charcters (I forgot the correct number), a word containing lots of å, ä and ö is not checked at all. Well, it's checked, but as it can't be in the dictionary it appears as a mis-spelled word every time. Very irritating!!
