SYMPTOMS

You clicked Change All in the spelling checker to change a Hebrew word to an English word, the English word then displays in reverse, for example, what should be "keyboard" displays as "draobyek."

WORKAROUND

The spelling checker gives you the option to change all identical misspelled words in one action, or to change one word at a time. This problem can be avoided if you use the Change button to correct one word at a time, rather the Change All button.
