Writing a Paragraph and Using the Spell Checker

FrontPage allows you to type text into your Web page quickly and easily. The following steps show you how to write an introductory paragraph on your page and how to use FrontPage's spell checker.

Make sure your page from the previous lesson is open. It should be blank; if not, delete any existing items.

Click on your page. The cursor should be flashing in the top left corner of the blank page as shown below.

Type [Photo World] as the paragraph header. Notice the text you type will appear where the insertion point (cursor) flashes on your screen. Click ENTER.

Type [Welcome to my Web site! Enjoy the selection of photos from this month's feetured photographer, Jim Gray.] Your page should look like the following image. 

Note: When the text you type reaches the end of a line, FrontPage automatically wraps text to the next line. You need to press the Enter key only when you want to start a new paragraph.

FrontPage automatically checks your Web page for spelling errors as you type. Misspelled words display a red, wavy underline. The underlines will not appear when you publish your Web page.

Click (the Spelling button on the Standard toolbar) to start the spell check.
The following Spelling dialog box appears if FrontPage finds a misspelled word on your Web page.
The area outlined in red displays the misspelled word and the area outlined in magenta displays suggestions for correcting the word.
Click the word you want to use to correct the misspelled word. Then click Change to replace the word on your Web page with the word you selected.
To skip the word and continue checking your Web page, click Ignore. Change or ignore misspelled words until the following dialog box appears, telling you the spell check is complete.
Click OK to close the dialog box.
Select all of the text on this page and key DELETE. This will clear the page for the Editing Text Review.
