TOPIC E
Using Text Editing Tools
Your links are intact, and one of the very last things you will do to prepare your web for pub-
lishing is to check its page content for editorial mistakes. FrontPage, as in Microsoft Word,
allows you to spell check a page, as well as find and replace text but with a couple
differences—which you will discover in this topic.
It’s crunch time. The web has to be published for internal review in the next hour. You know
your pages are littered with misspellings and you seem to recall that you needed to replace one
term with another, but you can’t remember which page the term was on, or, for that matter,
whether it is on multiple pages. What do you do? Start opening one page at a time to spell
check it and scan for the term? Would FrontPage make you do that? Of course not. Its flexible
text editing tools let you locate and change things over the entire web, saving you a ton of
unnecessary clicking and ensuring that you don’t miss a mistake!
Use Text Editing Tools
Procedure
Reference:
The primary difference between FrontPage’s text editing tools, Spelling and
Find And Replace, and those in Word, is that FrontPage allows you to choose
to scan multiple files for errors all at the same time. In addition to being able
to scan an entire web, you can select pages, or the current page, to speed
things up. To use the text editing tools:
1
Switch to Folders view.
If you want to spell check a file or files, select them.
2
On the Standard toolbar, click the Spelling button and select either
Selected Page(s) or Entire Web .
Press [F7] to start the Spelling tool.
3
Click Start. FrontPage lists the pages containing misspelled or unrecog-
nized words.
4
To correct the misspellings, double-click on a page to open it in Page
view. Use the Spelling dialog box to correct or verify the misspelling, and
when you have reviewed all errors, save and close the page and continue
on to the next page.
If you didn’t have time to correct the misspelled pages right away, you could
add them to a task list to be completed later simply by checking the Add A
Task For Each Page With Misspellings check box available in the Spelling dia-
log box.
Spell
Checking in
Page View
If you are viewing an open page in Page view, clicking the Spelling button
will check only that open page for errors. To spell check selected files or the
entire web in Page view, you can select any file in the Folder List, and then
click the Spelling button.
