Correct, the spell check options are only available with print text not
translate text for Braille.

Hi Deborah and everyone,
* When I create a new file in `print` format using the` English
(Unified) - basic` template, the spell check options are available.
This requires me to use the print-letters keyboard to enter content.
* However, when I `translate` that same file from the `File / Translate` menu
into braille, the spell check options are disabled.
* When I create a new file in `braille` format using the` English
(Unified) - basic` template, the spell check options are disabled.
This requires me to enter content using six-key braille.
* However, when I `translate` that same file from the `File / Translate` menu
into print text, the spell check options are available.
This is obviously not a complete test of all possible ways of operating on text
or braille, but it seems to point toward the idea that DBT only offers spell
checking options on print text and not on six-key braille.
This is all when using DBT 11.1 SR4 on Windows 10.
Best,
_don

You can spell check in the dxp file of Duxbury in the Edit menu.

Hi Don,
As far as I recall, you can only spell check a DBT file before it is
translated.
I could be wrong, but it’s the only thing that springs to mind.

Hi,
I am positive this is an embarrassingly simple issue but it has me quite
puzzled!
I have a copy of DBT 11.1 SR4 running on Win10 64-bit.
The menu items for spell checking (that is, 'Edit / Spell Check...' and 'Edit
/ Find Misspelling') are disabled. The keyboard shortcuts are also not
available.
While I intend to upgrade this version of DBT to take advantage of the newest
UEB functionality, in the meantime I would be grateful for a bit of coaching
to figure out this simple bit.
Best,
_don
