Check Spelling dialog box

When Dreamweaver finds a word in your web page that it does not recognize, it displays the word in the Word not found in dictionary box. Then Dreamweaver offers you a best guess of what the word should be, and a list of further suggestions.

If the highlighted word in the Change to box is correct, click on Change.

If one of the words in the Suggestions box is correct, click on that suggestion to bring it up to the Change to box and click on Change.

If your word is properly spelled you can click on Ignore to have Dreamweaver ignore the word, Ignore All to have Dreamweaver pass over any additional uses of the word in the web page, or Add to add the word to your dictionary.

When the spell check is complete, Dreamweaver will display the following message box:
