Here is what Rainmaker (company which produces spell catcher has to say! ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Specifically, if an input method is active (almost any input method, including Apple's own that ship with OS X), you will be unable to edit the number of copies to print or the page range in the dialog versions of Print and Page Setup. This is not a problem in the sheet versions of Print and Page Setup. Certain older applications still use these dialogs (AppleWorks for instance) instead of the more appropriate sheet equivalents. To clarify the difference, the sheet versions are "attached" to the actual document you are printing (take a look at, say, TextEdit), while the dialog versions appear modally in front of all document windows in applications that use them. The only work-around is to choose a keyboard (flag) icon from the input menu in applications that use these dialogs. Enter the number of copies (or page range, etc.), then once you're done choose Spell Catcher again from the input menu to activate its input method. Depending on which version of Mac OS X you use, this is easily accomplished with the standard command-space or command-option-space keyboard shortcuts. Once again, this is not a bug in Spell Catcher. To convince yourself, try the same thing with (say) Apple's Korean (Hangul) input method active. The result - a total mess. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monday, August 15, 200510:00 PMHarry Jacobson-Beyerharryjb at bellsouth.net >Bill, > >Can you be more specific please?
