Suddenly Storyline is spell checking in French!

Jun 20, 2013

Hey there,

All of a sudden (with no apparent action on my part) while I was working on a Storyline project (I had 3 Storyline files open at the same time) Storyline's spell check has starting underlining all items and is suggesting French words.

The Storyline settings for spellcheck is English US, my language on my PC (Win8) is English US, and my Microsoft office language settings are English US.

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Hi Christine,

Thanks for the reply. It is definitely strange!

I've tried a couple of things:

  • restarted the machine
  • uninstalled Storyline and used the cleanup script (ran it three times, actually), restarted the machine and reinstalled Storyline

Here's a couple other notes:

  • Storyline is the only app spell checking in a language other than English (US). Word, Excel, PPT, Outlook, all function properly.
  • Storyline does this for all files (past files I've worked on, the ones I'm currently working on, and files colleagues are working on)

Hi Jamie!

Thanks for getting back to me :)

One thing I wanted to ask about - you mentioned that this is happening for files you're working on and files that colleagues are working on. Does this mean your colleagues are seeing the same thing on their machines, as well, or do you mean you're seeing this with files you've gotten from your colleagues?

Also, which method did you use for reinstalling? Was it the one below?

Unexpected or erratic behavior in Storyline

Have you tried disabling the spell check altogether? 

Thanks!

How does one disable the spell check altogether?
