Subtitles of the Movie (Adobe Fireworks CS3 / Working with Text / Spell Checking)
Fireworks CS3 has a Spell Checker. This command is found in the Text menu here in the Main menu. You can use this Spell Checker to check the spelling for specific text blocks, or for all text in a document. If you have not checked spelling before in Fireworks CS3, you'll see this dialog box for the first time: Please select a spelling language dictionary. click OK. Go ahead and choose your language dictionary; I'm going to go ahead and choose English-American. Also, I have some options here for finding duplicate words, ignore words with numbers, ignore Internet and file addresses, ignore words in upper case, as well as a button here to edit your Personal Dictionary. What you'll find is that when Fireworks encounters a word it doesn't know you have the option of adding it to your Personal Dictionary, then you can also go in here and edit your Personal Dictionaries that you've set up. Go ahead and click OK to close out that dialog. Now, in this Spell Check session it's only going to correct words in this selected text block but if I deselect that text block, it will check all the text blocks on this page, however, it will not check the other words on page 2. Let me go ahead and close this, and notice I have a misspelled word here, checking that it found, but I also have another misspelled word, spelling in page 2. So if I deselect, let's go back to page 1 and deselect all my text blocks, and now do a Spell Check, it will check all the text on this page in all of your text blocks. Notice that I have a variety of options here. I can add this unknown word to my Personal Dictionary, I can ignore it, I can ignore all instances of that misspelled word, I can change the word, just this one time, or change all instances that Fireworks CS3 finds of that misspelling, or I can delete the word. Go ahead to click on Change to change it. Notice if it says spelling check is complete, because it didn't find any more misspellings here in this text block, but I do have a misspelling here on page 2, so I'll need to run another Spell Check here, and when I do, notice that it finds that misspelled word there. Let's go ahead and delete this word this time, and let's fix this by typing. Notice I can also type in the correct spelling. Spelling Check Completed. So that's a demonstration that it will not fix all of your text blocks on various pages, just the text on that particular page. Let me now go back and rerun the Spell Check. It tells me that it's finished checking this selection, Do you want to continue? click OK. Spelling Check Completed. Let's go ahead and have a misspelling here so I can demonstrate the last couple options there that I skipped. Let's go ahead and check the spelling. Notice that down on the bottom you have a setup button, which brings you back to the spelling setup that I demonstrated earlier where you can set your Dictionary, set your Personal Dictionary path here, by clicking on the path, browse to Personal Dictionary, File, Path, Icon, edit the Personal Dictionary, and then your four options that I reviewed earlier. So there you have a pretty straightforward, but powerful spelling checker in Fireworks CS3. So that will conclude this section of the tutorial on working with text. In this section you had an overview of working with text. How to format text using the Properties Inspector, how to attach text to a path, how to transform text as you would other vector and bitmap objects, how to import text from a variety of sources, and then you learned here in this last movie about the Fireworks CS3 Spell Checker.
