Hello all,

I hope somebody can help me with this. I have recently switched to NWP from MSWord and it very much meets all my writing quirks.

I have been using Spell Catcher for spellchecking because I work with different languages (some of which fictitious) in the same text document and Spell Catcher is the only tool that offers me customizable dictionary features (the My Learned Words) which deal properly with unicode characters. I could never do without Spell Catcher.

Unfortunately in NWP, when I run a spellcheck on a formatted document, once Spell Catcher has finished and pastes the amended checked text back in the document, all the document styles are lost.
The document does not lose the material formatting (except for a few data of a style, like the preventing widow/orphan for Normal). The formatting stays and is still displayed, but nothing is anymore recognized as one of the styles of the stylesheet for that document.
The pasted text also defaults back to USA English from the British English which is the language of the document. Moreover, all the bookmarks that were there are lost.

Any idea?

You're best off to use Spell Catcher’s interactive checking, or the Mac OS X spell checker (configured to use a Spell Catcher language), or else Spell Catcher’s DirectCorrect feature in NWP. You won' lose formatting these ways. Spell Catcher’s Check Selection uses the built-in Mac OS X RTF translators, which aren't able to "understand" the complex RTF that NWP puts on the clipboard.

Read Spell Catcher’s Help Book for more info on these features (Spell Catcher application, Help > Spell Catcher Help). Also read the documentation for NWP about how to set its languages for spell checking.

I'll try that, thanks.
