michelle - it's not broken... it's a feature. from bbedit help --> expert preferences:
Since "Find All Misspelled Words" is pretty much pointless on files over a certain size, the maximum amount of text checked by this command is limited to 1M (1024 squared) characters. This may be adjusted with an expert preference: defaults write com.barebones.bbedit Editor_SpellCheckLengthLimit -int NN where "NN" is some decimal value. Use -int 0 to suppress the limit altogether. you would execute the 'defaults write... ' command from the command line using the 'terminal' app. bruce On Sunday, April 26, 2015 at 2:06:07 PM UTC-7, Michelle wrote: > > Hello, > > I am currently working with an 8.7 MB text file that contains over 150,000 > Web page titles.
