Spellcheck underlining all words

Hi!

My language is set to English and my dictionary is set to English (UK) but every word is underlined by the spellchecker , including the spellings that are correct.
If I change the dictionary back to US English then this problem is resolved. However, I want to use the UK dictionary.
Is anyone else having this issue or know how to solve it?
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling it. I have also tried setting my language to ‘system’.
This is very frustrating.
Thanks!

Hello

Have you re-downloaded the dictionary?
It looks like Scrivener is looking in (a faulty version of) the dictionary, but can’t find any word in it, because for some technical reason there isn’t any. (?) [Blank dictionary file]

Hi!

That’s a really good point!

I’m struggling to find how to delete a dictionary. Would you know how to do this?

Thanks

You could just download it anew on top, I think. No need to delete anything. (?)

We also have a Knowledge Base article with tips on replacing the Windows dictionary. You might find that helpful.
