Check spelling in user entered text fields

I have noticed that if a user enters a misspelled word into a text field, it will only show the red underline beneath the word if the user goes back to the field and clicks on it. When the user is not in that field, the red underline disappears. Is there a way around this so that it is more apparent when the user has misspelled something?

Hi,

the spelling in form fields is only checked by Acrobat or Reader while typing.
There is no setting in Designer that can change this behavior.

Hi,

If spelling is important on your form then another option would be to include a "check spelling" button with the following Javascript in the click event:

app.execMenuItem("Spelling:Check Spelling");

This executes the spell checker under the Edit menu.

Hope this helps,
