SYMPTOMS
FrontPage does not check the spelling of the shared border of a Web page.



CAUSE
Shared borders are stored as separate files in the _borders folder. When you insert a shared border into a page, the shared border uses the Include Bot to give the illusion that it is actually part of a Web page.



RESOLUTION
To check the spelling of the shared borders of your web, use one of the following methods.

Method 1: Check Spelling of Shared Border Files Using the Entire Web Option
To check spelling of the shared border pages using the Entire Web option, follow these steps:
 * 1) On the Tools menu, click Web Settings.
 * 2) Click the Advanced tab.
 * 3) Select the Show documents in hidden directories check box.
 * 4) Click OK.
 * 5) Click Yes to refresh the web.
 * 6) Switch to folders view.
 * 7) On the Tools menu, click Spelling, and make sure the Entire Web option is selected. Click Start.
 * 8) Double-click each page to run the Spelling feature.

Method 2: Check Spelling of Shared Border Files
To check spelling of the Shared Border files, follow these steps:  On the Tools menu, click Web Settings. Click the Advanced tab. Select the Show documents in hidden directories check box. Click OK. Click Yes to refresh the web. In folders view, double-click the _borders folder to expand it.

NOTE: There are four files that may appear in your _borders folder based on your selection in the Shared Borders dialog box.

The four Shared Border files are:

top.htm

left.htm

right.htm

bottom.htm

</li> Press SHIFT and select all Shared Border files in the _borders folder.</li> On the Tools menu, click Spelling.</li> In the Spelling dialog box, select Selected page(s), and click Start.</li> Double-click each page to run the Spelling feature.</li></ol>

MORE INFORMATION

To activate this feature, follow these steps:


 * 1) On the Tools menu, click Page Options.
 * 2) Click the General tab.
 * 3) Select the Check spelling errors as you type check box.
