First, do you have the book that appears at the bottom of the word page? If spell check works, you can delete the old prefs.plist file(s) because the new ones Word created will function just fine now. Spell check for ms word for mac. If this didn't fix the problem, I would move the old prefs.plist files back to where they were and delete the new ones. Spell check dont work on MAC off 08 Hi there, I dont know if you are still having the same problem with word, I had the same problem, searched and found a solution that works for me, it may do for you. I followed every suggestion in intertubespace, and this is the only thing that worked.

Mozilla does not offer a special version of the Silverlight plugin, and Microsoft announced the 'end of life' for Silverlight for Firefox on all platforms as of. So you probably need to stick with Windows to have a supported configuration of that app.

Troubleshooting Is Silverlight Working? The first thing to check is whether it's really a Silverlight problem you're seeing. If Silverlight works for you at all then the chances are you need to be talking to whoever provides the website you're trying to use. Follow the link below to a video with some rock climbing. If you see a video player straight away then that is rendered using Silverlight. Obviously, if you see something else like a blank page or a message to install silverlight etc then you have proven there is a problem with your Silverlight and browser combination.

Is Your Setup Compatible? Silverlight is currently in end of lifetime support from Microsoft. Support ends in 2021. Other companies seem to have decided that means they’re not going to support Silverlight. For example, it just won’t work on recent macs using Chrome.

On Windows 10 the default browser is Edge, this is incompatible with Silverlight and MS will not be adding Silverlight support. You should use Internet Explorer on Windows 10. Type Internet Explorer in the 'Search web and Windows' box on the taskbar. Check your operating system and browser are on the list: Subtle Incompatibilities Although Internet Explorer is one of the more reliable browsers with Silverlight it’s only the version on the desktop view of Win8/8.1 which is compatible. You don’t have that option at all if you are using a Win RT device such as a Surface ( without a “pro” on the end ). If you’re looking at a bunch of tiles then that isn’t desktop. You get to the desktop mode by selecting the desktop tile on Win 8.0 or in win 8.1 there's a little window icon bottom left you can click.

This Browser Doesn't Support Silverlight ( Windows IE ) There are a number of possible explanations for seeing this message. Are you running Windows 8+? In which case, is this an ARM based machine? Win RT does not support Silverlight. You need the desktop version of internet explorer. If you're looking at a screen full of tiles - this is your problem. Install Silverlight When Already Installed You see the link to install Silverlight when the control fails to load.

There is no intelligence or logic applied. The thing telling you to install Silverlight is just a standard fallback picture you will see if the Silverlight object cannot render in the page. The most common cause of that on Windows with Internet Explorer is the browser security settings. Basically, you have settings which are stopping Silverlight from showing up. One of the keys to understanding how to troubleshoot this is realising that the Silverlight plug in is an Activex control. When changing these, you will need to close all IE windows before your new settings will apply. To set /check security settings: Click the Cog > Security tab.

Check the Enable Protected mode check box and read the message next to it. Click the Custom level button Scroll down and set: • Download unsigned Activex Controls: Disable • Initialise and script Activex controls not marked as safe.: Disable • Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins: Enable • Script Activex controls marked safe for scripting: Enable If it's still not working then try setting Allow ActiveX Filtering: Disable Paused/doesn't Play Video on Mac On a Mac, Silverlight can get a bit confused if you choose to use your non default output. The symptoms are: Silverlight works fine initially. You plug in some headphones. It stops playing or behaves very strangely. A silverlight app loads but misbehaves. To fix this, make headphones your default choice or don't use them.

Fixing a Broken Install Some upgrades go horribly wrong for whatever reason. The simple fix to try is uninstall, and re-install.

If that still doesn’t work then this can be due to corrupted registry settings. Deleting these is what you’re doing when you “run” the cmd file generated by following the steps described: Try that only if un-install and re-install of Silverlight doesn't work though. Permission to Run This is a common issue. Follow the instructions here if you see anything says Silverlight doesn’t have permission to run.
