Checking Spelling
Using FrontPage, you can correct spelling errors on a Web site immediately, or create a task for each page with an error and correct them later. Begin by opening the page whose spelling you want to examine. If you commonly use words unique to a hobby or profession that would not appear in a normal dictionary, or are unlikely to be part of the common vernacular, consider adding them to your dictionary so that they will not repeatedly be called into question during spell checks.
Check Spelling in a Web Page
| Click the View menu, click Page, open the Web page you want to check, and then click where you want to start checking. |
Click the Tools menu' and then click Spelling.
The program begins scanning the pages for words that aren't in its dictionary. | Click the suggested word or type the correct word, and then click Change. Click Change All to correct all instances of the word. |
| If the unrecognized word is correctly spelled but the program doesn't know it (as with a name, for example), click Ignore to ignore this instance of the word, or click Ignore All to ignore all instances of this word. |
| Click Add to add this word to your custom dictionary. |
| When the spell checker reaches the end of the document, if it hasn't searched the beginning, a prompt will ask if you want it to resume the search at the start of the document. |
| When you're done, click OK. |
