USING DREAMWEAVER

Adding content to pages

Last updated 3/28/2012

Note: Dreamweaver can only spell check the file that is currently open in the Document window. It cannot spell check all

of the files in a site simultaneously.

By default, the spelling checker uses the U.S. English spelling dictionary. To change the dictionary, select Edit >

Preferences

> General (Windows) or Dreamweaver > Preferences > General (Macintosh), then in the Spelling

Dictionary pop-up menu select the dictionary you want to use.

1 Select Commands > Check Spelling or press Shift+F7.

When Dreamweaver encounters an unrecognized word, the Check Spelling dialog box appears.

2 Select the appropriate option based on how you want the discrepancy handled.

Add To Personal Adds the unrecognized word to your personal dictionary.

Ignore Ignores this instance of the unrecognized word.

Change Replaces this instance of the unrecognized word with text that you type in the Change To text box or with

the selection in the Suggestions list.

Ignore All Ignores all instances of the unrecognized word.

Change All Replaces all instances of the unrecognized word in the same manner.

Note: Dreamweaver does not provide a way of deleting entries that have been added to personal dictionaries.

Import tabular data

You can import tabular data into your document by first saving the files (such as Microsoft Excel files or database files)

as delimited text files.

You can import and format tabular data and import text from Microsoft Word HTML documents.

You can also add text from Microsoft Excel documents to a Dreamweaver document by importing the contents of the

Excel file into a web page.

1 Select File > Import > Import Tabular Data, or Insert > Table Objects > Import Tabular Data.

2 Browse for the file you want or enter its name in the text box.

3 Select the delimiter used when the file was saved as delimited text. Your options are Tab, Comma, Semicolon,

Colon, and Other.

If you select Other, a blank field appears next to the option. Enter the character that was used as a delimiter.

4 Use the remaining options to format or define the table into which the data will be imported and click OK.
