Unable to correct spelling in supplementary books

Question

A user with permissions for a supplementary book (e.g., XXD) is unable to correct a misspelled word with the right-click “Correct Spelling” option, a message is displayed saying that it hasn’t found any occurrences (even though there is one). Nonetheless, the misspelled is marked as “incorrect.” What are we doing wrong?

Answer 1

The Wordlist In Paratext 9 cannot correct words in extra books.

A couple of weeks ago I received this message from support (Steve White): This has been reported and is on the list of things to fix.
In the meantime, you can use Paratext 8 to make those spelling corrections in extra books, if you have it installed.
