Spelling is not working

Hi,

I'm writing a thesis in Swedish and when checking my spelling most of the document does in a correct fashion. Parts of the document it claims stacks of basic Swedish word are incorrectly spelled. When i tell Mellel to learn the word it will still claims it is misspelled next time I do a spellchecked. The words are not highlighted as red as it otherwise does if I misspell a word. I have also double checked that the text is marked as Swedish in the character palette. It is very strange. What can be wrong?

Did you check in Edition\Spelling\As you type ?

(note: my version is in French, not sure of the exact words in English).

I had the same "issue" until I found that spelling was disabled by default :roll:

Yes I have chosen: Check spelling as you type

Did you select Swedish in Preference\Language\Spelling ? (besides that, I don't see what's the problem!)

Thanks for the tip. Yes I have in the preference pane checked for Swedish spelling. The strange thing is that this problem only exists in part of the document and when I tell the spellchecker to learn words it doesn't learn them.
