Having the same issue. Do you not realize that the spell check feature is one of the most important tools in this software? I'm having to convert back to 2019 just to get around this bug. Please fix this!!!

Same here...I have tried the above and it was not fixed the problem. I totally agree with the other comments, it is such a critical part of our job!! please update when the bug is fixed ASAP

The fact that this dynamic spelling issue has not been rectified for nearly two months with an update through the CC app is unbelievable. Honestly Adobe, what is the holdup?!

Same issue here! Driving me nuts!

Hurry up and fix this Adobe. It's embarrassing and ridiculous

Upgraded to Indesign 2020 and now Spell check won't work. HELP!!!!

As noted, changing the preferences doesn't work for preexisting documents & templates (original documents). To assist, at least for smaller documents, I've discovered that when using your original document, if you copy the contents from your original document and paste into a new document (also uploading all the paragraph and character styles from the original document into the new document but not worrying about margins, page size or anything else) then simply copy content from the new document and paste back in to your existing document the Dynamic Spelling works in your original document and continues to work for all new edits made in original document after pasting. Not ideal and a real headache for larger document such as books with different sections but at least a stop gap until Adobe properly resolves.

Easier still if you have a blank template, all you need to do is open a new document type anything such as "abc", copy and paste it into the original document and it works!

NOTE: ensure the preferences have been changed as recommended and prior to starting new document.

Hope this helps

Get your act together Adobe. This is not a trivial fault.

PLEASE FIX THIS BUG ASAP. This essential feature is currently NOT working.

This is critical to my job function. Please address this ASAP

COME ON ADOBE GET YOUR HEADS FROM WHERE THE SUN DOESN"T SHINE. (btw, first time I've ever used all caps)

This is a huge problem. I can't send proofs and documents to clients without checking spelling. Spellcheck is a basic and essential function. Please make this a priority.

This is a critical issue. I've sent proofs out to clients after spellchecking and assuming no spelling errors (which, alas, had errors). It's embarrassing and unprofessional. I only found out this was an issue by searching Google. You really need to get on top of this and let people know about the issue so we can adjust our workflow. I'm really disappointed with Adobe.

Still not working! When will this issue be fixed?

I sent a lengthy proposal out... It's bad. Adobe, fix this for the love of all the things you've ever bought.

How is fixing spellcheck NOT a priority? InDesign is used primarily to create professional looking documents. Spellcheck is basic word processing function.

This going to be rolled out with the fix soon? Tired of risking losing work over spellcheck issues and having to constantly drop down to older versions just to spellcheck documents.

check indesign preferences > Dictionary
Make sure spelling is set to: Hunspell

trust me it works:)

When will this be fixed as I have thousands of documents in the old version which I need to update daily/weekly and don't have the time to recreate these in a new document just for spelling check to work

The above link doesn't work guys... and spell check doesn't work.... when is there a fix coming?
