Disabling Language Tools

As we already know, not all Adobe Photoshop Elements distributives include dictionaries for spell check and auto-hyphenation. If the spell checker overlooks obvious misprints and displays "Spell check complete" message (fig. 1), most probably, the required dictionaries are missing on your computer.

In this case, the author can only recommend to remove the useless elements from your "Text" dialog box:

  1. In the Effects palette, double-click the "Scripts" thumbnail.
  2. In the dialog box that opens, double-click the "E+ Options" line (fig. 2).
  3. In the "Elements+ Options" dialog, uncheck the "Spell Check and Auto-hyphenate" gadget (fig. 3).
  4. Click "OK" to commit the changes.

The next time you open the "Text" dialog, you won't see the "Language" menu, "Auto-hyphenate" checkbox and "Spell Check" command (fig. 4). If you decide to enable those elements, launch the "E+ Options" script again and check the "Spell Check" gadget (fig. 3).
