The spell check for my gmail has disappeared. How can I get it back? - Answered by a verified Email technician. If you are using the NEW 'Compose' interface of Gmail, here are the steps to use Spell Checker. I have Word for Mac 2011, version 14.6.7. My spell check feature has disappeared from the Tools menu and now there's only.
On my Mac, I use a variant of Gmail adopted by my former employer with only slight customized differences. I have searched in vain for a way to turn off the email spell-checking program because it ruins messages in foreign languages by changing many words unnecessarily.
Is there a way to stop spell-check? The Gmail website itself built into its software, so it may be your web browser or operating system that is quietly doing the job. If you are collecting your Gmail messages by downloading them to the Mac OS X Mail program, spell-check settings there could be the culprit.
If you are using Gmail on the web, check your browser’s settings first. In Apple’s Safari browser, go to the Edit menu to “Spelling and Grammar” and on the submenu there, see if the “Correct Spelling Automatically” option is selected.
If it is, turn it off, along with any other spell-check features you do not wish to use. The Mail program that comes with Mac OS X keeps under its Edit menu as well. Other Mac-friendly browsers, like and, also have spell-check capability, but if words are getting changed automatically as you type your message text, it may be Mac OS X itself doing the deed. To see, go to the Apple menu and choose System Preferences, or click the System Preferences icon in the Mac’s Dock. In the System Preferences box, click “Language & Region” (in OS X 10.9) or “Languages & Text” (in OS X 10.8).
In OS X 10.9, click 'Keyboard Preferences' and then 'Text'; on OS X 10.8, click the Text tab. Turn off the checkbox next to “Correct spelling automatically.” This same box also has a menu for picking a specific language for the spell-checker to use, and may be worth trying if you write most messages in another language. Scanning Old Photos In Bulk Q. What’s an easy way to get my shoeboxes of pictures scanned without spending much money so I can post those nostalgic memories and share the photos online? Scanning the photos yourself is one option; you can buy a decent flatbed photo scanner for less than $75. If you do not want to buy your own, you can usually rent a computer and scanner at places like. Your local public library may even have equipment you can use.
A professional scanning service that converts photos to digital files may cost more, say, $60 for 200 scans, or 33 cents a photo depending on the pricing plan, but you get color correction and image restoration, too. Additionally, you get the convenience of mailing the pictures and getting them back with a disk of digitized photos., and are some of the companies to consider.
