Troubleshoot spelling

Red wavy lines indicate that the automatic function to check spelling has been turned on, and that Microsoft FrontPage is indicating spelling errors. If you want to turn this function off, do the following:

1. On the Tools menu, click Page Options, and then click the General tab.
2. Do one of the following:

   Check spelling automatically but don't show the red wavy lines

   1. Select the Check spelling as you type check box.

   2. Select the Hide spelling errors in all documents check box.

   Completely turn off the automatic spelling checker

   • Clear the Check spelling as you type check box.

Note  You can check spelling at any time by clicking Spelling on the Standard toolbar.

When you use the spelling checker, it compares the words in your document with those in its main dictionary. The main dictionary contains most common words, but it might not include proper names, technical terms, acronyms, and so on. To prevent the spelling checker from questioning such words in future spelling checks, add these words to the personal dictionary by doing the following:

1. On the Standard toolbar, click Spelling .
2. When the spelling checker questions a word, click Add.

If you check spelling all at once, you can click the Change All button in the Spelling dialog box to change every occurrence of a misspelled word. If you close the dialog box before checking the entire document, the spelling checker will not correct errors in the unchecked portion.
