Desktop Client: The Spell checker is grayed out and not available for some users (not admins)
If your Spell-checking functionality in iGrafx is grayed out, it could be because the software was not installed in such a way to allow you to have your own 'User Dictionary' file that you can read and write. To check, and correct, this do the following:
- Start iGrafx as the user w/the problem
- Go to the Tools menu, and choose Options
- Click on the Spelling tab
- Set the 'User Dictionary' field to the proper file for the user (e.g. C:\Documents and Settings\non-admin-user\Application Data\iGrafx\Speller\userdic.tlx). If necessary, copy the userdic.tlx from the folder for a user that does have a tlx file in Application Data; ensuring the user has rights to read/write it.
If that doesn't work (i.e. worst-case), try a repair install (or uninstall/re-install) running under the user's account, ensuring the install is executed as an Administrator, and that the option for ALL users is chosen, as that should fix the issue.
