Spell Check Entire Site

Hi,
Just created over 300 pages in Dreamweaver, and now want to
spell check. Is there a way to spell check the entire site? I can't
seriously believe that the only way to do it is to open each page.
After all if Find and Replace works on all files why doesn't Spell
Check?
What is everyone else doing? Is there an extension I need to
install?
Thanks much

Spell check entire project or all topics

I would like to spell check the entire project at one time. According the Adobe Community Help for RH9, I should do as follows:
Open a topic in the Design Editor. Do one of the following:
Select Tools > Spell Check.
Select Tools > Spell Check All Topics. (Optional) Click Skip Topic.
Select Tools > Spell Check Project. (Optional) Click Skip
Currently, I only have one choice in the Tools menu: Spell Check...F7 which checks only the active document.
Do I need an add-on or something?

Do you have RoboHelp set up to show all options or just the shortened menus? If the latter, click the button at the bottom of the menu.
You don't say what version of RoboHelp you are using. Make sure you back up the project first as there was a bug in RoboHelp 8 that was fixed in 801. If you have 8 without 802 you are living dangerously anyway. It's described in Using RoboHelp 8 on my site.

Spell checking entire project trashes random topics

One of our team has experienced this twice so far, in different projects. The latest incidence involved two topics, whereas the previous incidence involved a dozen topics.
Her description of the issue:
1. RoboHelp inserted a bogus bookmark to adobe.com at the top of the page (like: my_topic.htm#http://www.adobe.com).
2. I could not even open those 2 topics in RoboHelp until after I deleted the bogus bookmark in Notepad. (See message below.)
3. Although our style sheet is still attached to it according to the Properties window, the formatting is completely lost.
The error message she mentioned above:
The file 'C:\<project_path>\my_topic.htm' is associated with a 3rd party editor and may be open in the editor. If so, please close the file in the other application before continuing.
When she was confronted with this issue the previous time, there were way more bad links than were manageable, so she just re-imported an older version of the files.

See item 13 in Using RH8.
If you search with just one topic open in the Design Editor, you will be OK.

Is there a way to make the spell check work on the entire web page without making the content editable? Or at least those boxes that appear when you enable spell check on the entire page, can you make them disappear?

I found an addon that allows you to spell check on the webpage but it make the entire page editable and these boxes appear on everything i highlight. Can i get rid of the boxes?

I had thought this situation was solved but it just got worse. In addition to being without service for several days I am now being charged a cancellation fee for a broadband service that BT disconnected in error. BT Vision was also terminated by BT but the set up charges are still in place. Does anyone know who the relevant Ombudsman is? I called BT from America on Friday - for an hour - while someone called Aruj sorted out why there is an order 'in progress' that I didn't initiate; why I have fees relating to a problem created by BT and why there are references to a house move that didn't take place and a BT Vision service I no longer have but didn't cancel myself. He assured me it would be rectified and my bill would be reduced by 139 pounds and we would get confirmation of this later that day. I asked him what chance there was that this would not actually happen - he said no chance at all; my new bill would be 23.50.
There was no text message. An online chat person today told me there had been a fee reduction request which had been declined and there was nothing else he could help me with as he dealt only with broadband. But he would get BT Vision to email me. They always seem so helpful.............
I'm sure I'm listed somewhere as 'a problem', there's no other explanation for why I get the runaround

My Spell Check is broken across the entire system

My spell check seems to be broken across my entire system How do I go about reinstalling that component?

Make sure that you have selected the correct dictionary.
You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the Languages submenu. 
Also make sure that [[X]"Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu has a tick. 
You can also try to toggle the "Check Spelling" item off and on again.

Mail spell check goes through the ENTIRE email looking for misspellings

Is there anyway when you use spell check in mail that it won't go through the ENTIRE message and just use the part that you have typed. Example: When you respond to an email from someone it spell checks their email as well. Any suggestions?

Hi,
In Preferences under "Composing" you could check "Check Spelling as I type". that will hold it in your reply only. You can either correct it right away (it gets underlined), or wait till later and do them all at the same time by going to Edit> Spelling> Check Spelling ( or the Command-semi-colon keys hit together) they will come up one-by-one for correction.
This is about the easiest way to do it.
Enjoy

2010 Publishing Site - Disable automatic spell check

We have a 2010 publishing site.. and evertime you publsih a page it does an automatic spell check. Can this be disabled?
I found how to disable spell check on lists but I need to stop the auto check on page publish.
Thanks!
sayitfast

I also experienced this issue.
So i tried uncommenting the registerSpellingHandler() line in the Spellcheck.js files like suggested by sayitfast. This worked for me in my dev environment. But i didn't like messing around with the default SharePoint files under the 15 hive in the prod
environment.
So i searched a bit more and found a decent solution for this. You can disable the spell check for certain fields by setting the "excludeContentFromSpellCheck" attribute to "true" on text area and input controls that you dont want to be spell checked. I
did this on all my page layouts. Now i dont get false positives anymore.
The solution i found was this one: http://blog.cube4.com.au/?p=1016
This worked for SharePoint 2013. I dont know if this would work for SharePoint 2010 also.

Spell Check All Pages in Dreamweaver CS4

With a new converted web site of over 150 pages I need to spell check the pages.
Is there any extension or method to spell check all of the pages at once?
Thanks

Unfortunately, you can’t do it. As I have noted before, Adobe should be ashamed of itself that I have to import my entire site into FrontPage 98 in order to get an effective spell-check. I get laughed at for using FrontPage, but it's a far better program, sadly.

Firefox 14.0.1 has a spell checking error./ bug in the code

I just had all my machines update to 14.0.1 (WIN XP SP3)
I had a clean boot right before the update occurred.
This is the first time I had used this version on this machine.
When the program came up, I had no access to the spell checker at all. Nothing I did could change this (checking and un-checking the feature in the right click menu.
So, I selected the option of restarting the browser in "SAFE MODE" with no add-ons. There was no change at all (still no spell checking)
So, I went to this site, made an account, activated the count (this entire time FIREFOX had no spell checking) and I created a report.
I was most of the way done writing the report when suddenly the spell checking started to work. I made no changes to the settings, when suddenly I had spell checking working.
This means there is an intermittent error;p often the hardest to find from my 20+ years of programming experience (Senior IT contractor)..
So, have find finding this one. Intermittent bugs are the hardest to track, and tend to come from issues like scope issues, settings stored in files/registry, overly convoluted code (like a rush job that isn't fully understood & was just hammered on until it seemed to work). From my experience it often happens in the last steps of finishing a release - accidentally introducing a bug into what was a working section of code (unexpected ramification are a suspect) into a previously working program piece of a program.

Hi BarleySinger and thanks for reporting us this issue.
Yes. Intermitent bugs are really difficult to track and solve, so please try to do this things:
* Try to reset Firefox so all settings that may be creating this problems will be removed.
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
* Try to perform a antivirus scan on your computer so you check you have no malware.
Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try some of the following programs to scan for malware:
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
* [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]
* [http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] (A good permanent anti-virus if you don't already have one)
Further information can be found in the [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
* Send us troubleshooting information.
In order to be able to find the correct solution to your problem, we require some more non-personal information from you. Please do the following:
*Click the Firefox button at the top left, then click the ''Help'' menu and select ''Troubleshooting information'' from the submenu. If you don't have a Firefox button, click the Help menu at the top and select ''Troubleshooting information'' from the menu.
Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
*At the top of the page, you should see a button that says "Copy all to clipboard''. Click it.
*Now, go back to your forum post and click inside the reply box. Press Ctrl+V to paste all the information you copied into the forum post.
If you need further information about the Troubleshooting information page, please read the article [[Using the Troubleshooting Information page]].
Thanks in advance for your help!
* Check the issue is still reproducing intermitently, and it was not an isolated problem (Maybe Firefox was still preparing the spell checker).

How can I mark large sections of a topic to be skipped during RH spell check?

I have a RoboHelp Webhelp project in which many of the topics have sample code and other entire lines of package, class, and other names that I want
the spell checker to bypass.
Unfortunately, there is no option to select the text and mark it to be ignored.
When I run spell check, RH flags certain words or phrases and asks me how to handle them, one at a time.
If I close the spell check dialog, RH bounces right back to the spot where I stopped it during a subsequent spell check.
This is tedious and I end up with multiple <rhignored? = "text to be ignored".> in a single code sample, for example.
Is there a better way to mark sections of text to be skipped?
I see this as basic functionality, and maybe I am missing something I did not find on this forum or in the help files.
Thanks so much!
Cynthia
I meant to add that I am using RoboHelp 9 on a PC running Vista.

Sorry but there's no way I have seen. I state that quite categorically as what will hopefully happen is that someone will now respond they do know a way.
I'm not sure I would agree what you want is basic functionality but I do understand your need for it.
The more people who request a feature, the more likely it is to be actioned. Please follow this link.

Spell Check is not working, still......

Another long time user that has been with you for years has had enough, over to Opera where I can write an email without looking like an unprofessional  dummy that can't even use spell checker.
Linux mint 14, fully updated, two different pc's both same problem with spellchecker, this problem has been going on for a long time now. Do you really expect people to use a browser without a spellcheck? This has been a 'bug' for how long now? People just go elsewhere, why wouldn't you, try running a business and sending people sketchy looking emails.
I fix PC's for a living, I used to put everybody onto Thunderbird and Firefox, do you think I still do that? Obviously like the people I know who do the same thing for a living, I put them onto Chrome so they don't ring me complaining that it doesn't work properly.
You guys are loosing market share for a reason, we need a functional non bloated browser that doesn't freeze and crash all the time,  forget the fancy add-ons and themes, make the  basics work because from the techiest person to the most useless pleb luddite, we all need the basics to work or the browser is a useless piece of  crap.
This site is proof of how you are alienating people too, I go to register and it tells me I don't need to register for a new question, I click on that and half way through it asks me to register, then when registering it took about 6 tries for your javascript to accept it: "username too short", "password is short", "username exists". Tell us before ffs! I nearly gave up and shut the window. Anybody unfamiliar with pc's would have given up after a try or two and gone back to IE.
Please, please, get your  stuff together, I love Mozilla and I love Firefox, it's named after my favourite baddies in the original Donkey Kong, ffs, I love you guys, get back to basics and make a functional browser that people prefer to IE, you are killing it, get back to basics and make it FUNCTIONAL

I had this problem too, spell check stopped working, I presume after an update. The solution is to add a dictionary, which you can by going to
[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/language-tools/ Firefox language Tools]
Though why this link is not on the same option tab as the spell check checkbox is beyond me. It appears that if your locale is US, Firefox is supposed to load the US dictionary, otherwise none. Pretty dumb, eh?

Despite my spell check being set, it does not work in Hotmail and some other websites.

I have the setting for spell check set up but it does not work on some sites like hotmail. I go to the spell check button in hotmail and it tells me that my browser will automatically check as I type but it doesn't. I've searched to override this or to get the spelling checked independently but without any luck, Any suggestions?

Not all locales come with a dictionary installed for licensing reasons.
If you do not have the en-US locale then check that you have a dictionary installed (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions).
You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the ''Languages'' submenu.
Also make sure that [[X]"Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu has a tick.
You can also try to toggle the "Check Spelling" item off and on again.

Acrobat 9 Professional - Adding Spell Check before Printing

Hello,
As a new user and unfamiliar with how to manipulate Acrobat, please help me with setting up a form that automatically detects and alerts the user of spelling errors prior to printing or emailing. The form will be distributed to about 200 users so all settings may not all be automatically set in Adobe (e.g. spell checker box checked in preferences) among each user's Reader copy. But the idea is to make sure this form is completed without spelling errors, so how could the form be programmed for any or all of the following :
1) The spell checking in preferences is automatically set to "checked" upon opening the form.
2) The form has a PRINT and EMAIL button within it already. How would a script or whatever look like to first spell check the entire document prior to executing the print or email function?
3) Could a pop-up window be added to alert of spelling errors during the previous process (#2)?
Thank you.

What type of form are you using? Is it an AcroForm or a Designer XFA form?

How do you spell check a field?

How are people spell checking their fields?
In searching around, I have only found (a) suggestions to yank the text into MS Word, do a spell check, then yank the resulting text into the field; (b) software from DC AL CODA that we aren't clear how they actually work (http://www.dcalcoda.com).
Specifically, my manager wants a tool that'll interface with Oracle like this: give a table name and a field name and be asked about each spelling error, much like an email spell check. The tool would change things as you ask, directly in the database. You wouldn't have to cut and paste into it and back to the db fields.
We aren't using forms. We use SQL*Plus, Quest Software's TOAD, and our own Java servlets (using JDBC to enter SQL statements).
I would love to hear how people do their spell checking.
Hopefully this is an appropriate forum for this question. There doesn't seem to be a general or SQL forum. Our database tables include a fair amount of text that shows up on Web pages. These are the fields we want to spell check.

I thought I'd reply to my own question since I found a workable solution, at least for our office which has MS Windows.
MS Access can connect directly to an Oracle data source. Access has a spell checking feature where you can select a field and spell check it. Below are tips and instructions for doing this.
TIPS:
It's surely a good idea to back up tables and be the only person or process changing those tables during the spell check.
One thing to watch for is whether the entire table comes in. At the bottom of the screen is a >* button which seems to get all fields. For large tables, you have to hit this button before you get the entire table.
Another glitch is that all of the given database user's tables show up in one list box -- makes for some painful scrolling, but all of the tables are listed.
A much smaller glitch is that if you widened any of the fields in the view of the table, when you close the window, it asks if you want to save the formatting. It has nothing to do with saving the data (that is automatic). It's safe to say no.
The spell check doesn't recognize HTML tags (asks about "br"s from tags) but seems to know to ignore things like "
How to set up an ODBC Data Source in Windows:
1. MS Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> ODBC Data Sources (32 bit)
2. Drivers tab, scroll down and select Oracle ODBC Driver
3. OK
4. User DSN tab, Add...
5. Select Oracle ODBC Driver and Finish
6. Make up a data source name (example: src)
7. Enter a description for it
8. For Service name, put what your service name is (for an SQL*Plus connection, 'usr/passwd@svc', this is 'svc')
9. For UserID, put your user id (for an SQL*Plus connection, 'usr/passwd@svc', this is 'usr')
10. Ignore the rest of the fields, click OK
11. Another OK.
How to use Access to Spell Check an ODBC Data Source Field:
0. Install Access from (MS Office 2000).
1. Start Access (by the way, you might find it way down the list in Start -> Programs).
2. Open file, in the file type box, scroll to the end: ODBC Databases. You'll get a dialog.
3. Machine Data Source tab, select the name you gave it (src in step 6 above)
4. You'll be prompted for the password (for an SQL*Plus connection, 'usr/passwd@svc', this is 'passwd')
5. Select from the huge list of every table the table you want. Ok.
5.a. If the table has no key, you'll be prompted for the unique key from a list of all fields.
6. Double click the item that has just been added to the dialog that remains on the screen. It'll have a globe next to text like USR_TABLENAME. This brings up a randomly sized first chunk of the table.
7. To make sure you get the entire table, on the paging buttons on the bottom (|< < > >| >*), click >*. It may take a few moments to get a huge table.
8. Click the heading of the field (column) you want to spell check). This selects the entire column.
9. Hit spell check (ABC checkmark tool or Tools -> Spelling)
10. Check away. The changes are made immediately to the database.
11. Close the table display window.

Mac: When I click on a misspelled word in the body of an email the spell checker defaults to first word in the email even if it already spelled correctly

The spell checker identifies incorrect spelled words, however when I right click or control click the word the spell checker only highlights in yellow the first word in the email and gives a dialog with the spelling and definition even though that word already correctly spelled. This is version 33.1 on my mac desktop running 10.10. Spell checking works properly if I use Safari.
