SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to check spelling across Webs from FrontPage Explorer, the
spell checker may find misspellings that were not found by FrontPage Editor.
CAUSE
FrontPage Explorer uses a method of spell checking that spell checks
words separated by punctuation without spaces. FrontPage Editor checks
the word on either side of the punctuation, but not including the
punctuation.
For example, FrontPage Explorer will flag the following string as a
misspelling:
RESOLUTION
To correct the spelling, use a copy and paste operation to place the
contents of the Web page in a word processing program, such as
Microsoft Word 97, and run the spell checker from there.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
