Lesson 3: Publishing Your FrontPage Web

---

Spell Checking

While the FrontPage Editor can check the spelling of the open page, the FrontPage Explorer can check the spelling of all (or selected) pages in the current FrontPage-based Web site.

The Spelling command works on those page elements that can be edited directly on the page. Other text, such as page titles added in the Page Properties dialog box or text contained in FrontPage components, are not included in the Spelling command.

To check the most current version of pages in your FrontPage-based Web site, you should first save and then close any open pages in the FrontPage Editor.

To Check Spelling in the FrontPage Explorer

1. On the FrontPage Explorer's Tools menu, choose Spelling.

   The Spelling dialog box is displayed. In this dialog box, you can specify whether FrontPage should check the spelling of all pages or of selected pages only.

2. In the Spelling dialog box, leave All Pages selected and click the Add a Task for Each Page With Misspellings option.

   FrontPage will add a task to the Tasks view for each page on which misspelled text is found. You will learn about FrontPage-based Web site tasks in the next section.

3. In the Spelling dialog box, click Start to begin the spell check.

   FrontPage displays the progress of the spell check in the Spelling dialog box.

   When the operation has been completed, "Finished checking pages" will appear and the number of tasks that were added to the Tasks view will be displayed.

4. In the Spelling dialog box, click Close.

   The spell check is complete.
