Auto Correction

stuartnorfolk · July 4, 2020, 11:42am

Hi, I’m a long time user of Scrivener. However, I have never been able to initiate the ‘Auto-correct’ feature for spelling. so, I’m beginning to find it frustration on having to find my own errors. The only way I can do this is by copying and pasting a block of text at a time and placing into something like Pages to check.

I have 'Auto-corrections ‘ticked’ in Preferences>Corrections. Am I missing something? should I have it enabled anywhere else?

Thanks,

Stuart Norfolk

This is mine, does yours match?

Yes! Our settings are identical.

Thanks for sending through.

Seems rather odd that yours isn’t working then. I was hoping that there was just a box that had been unchecked.

Hopefully someone will be able to give you an answer.
