Does anybody know if it is possible to change an InDesign CC document’s preference so its Dictionary setting is changed from Proximity to Hunspell? My goal is to achieve this switch without invoking any dialogs, but I do not believe there is a way?
Hi
I went for a nosey to see if I could find something in pure AppleScript but couldn’t, what I did
find however is something that may be wrapped in AppleScript, however, I have no idea as I don’t no javascript
This web site has a script that you can down load called “Setup”, it sets all of Indesign’s prefs etc and part of that
is the dictionery area which sets the area your looking for, could be worth a look?
Thank you so much Budgie,
Your reply and script made me realize that what I was seeking was referred to as “spelling vendor”, which is a property of the language of the active document.
This script will change the active document’s Dictionary Spelling to Huspell instead of the default of Proximity.
Thank you once again!
