    Is there a way to find all words reported as incorrect by the spell checking tool in InDesign?

    I looked in the JavaScript API specifications, but I can’t find it.

    Thanks,
    Gregorio

    Hi Gregorio,

    It can be done with our 3rd party plugin solution MindSpell Pro.

    https://www.mindsteam.com/products/mindspellpro/index.html
    https://exchange.adobe.com/creativecloud.details.2566.mindspell-pro-cc-monthly-subscription.html

    If you have a ‘word’ object selected the following two script events are added with MindSpell Pro…

    var spellResult = mySelection.spellCheck();
    var suggestions = mySelection.suggest();

    You can also use Preflight Rules to generate a spelling error report which will report all the errors in the document (or selection). There is an option to generate ‘suggestions’ for each of the errors which can also be included in the report.

    Best regards,
