    Good morning (well it is here) everyone,

    I was wondering if anyone knew of a 'Spell Check Report' script or add-on that can be added to InDesign CS5?

    The scenario is that I want to run a spell check across a client's brochure, but I don't know if some of the words are intentional or not, so rather than me going through it all and possibly making wrong errors, I would like to run the spell check but have it generate a report … including page numbers and the error flagged up … which I can then pass on to the client for them to check.

    Does anyone know of a functionality like that at all?

    Not that I know of. For some reason I recall someone asking for this but something about indesign not listing the spell errors so it would be difficult to make a list with a script?

    Hey Eugene — that fired the correct neurons! Yep, the same question: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/676743

    I experimented with aspell (a free command line spellcheck utility), but found it too cumbersome to work with — export to plain text, spell check, gather results, find original location of the errors thru' another script …

    Heath Horton of Mindsteam seems to have picked up this particular challenge, so you might visit his website and check if there is any progress.

    Jongware is correct. We've released MindSpell Pro which generates spelling reports using Live Preflighting. You can see a sample report on our product page: https://www.mindsteam.com/produ…..index.html

    The report will list each of the 4 spelling error types separately.

    Cheers,
