Fireworks has a Check Spelling Feature. You can use the Check Spelling Command in the Text Menu to check spelling for specific text blocks or for all the text in a document. To spell check your text, just choose Text, Check Spelling. This spellchecker is the exact same or very similar to those that are available in the other applications of the Creative Suite including Flash and Dreamweaver. If you've not checked spelling before in Fireworks, you'll see this dialog box asking you to select a dictionary. Let's go ahead and click OK. We can set our dictionary as well as the various options here including setting the personal dictionary path here as well as an option to edit your personal dictionary. Here the options are to find duplicate words and target those for spell check, to ignore words with numbers, to ignore Internet and file addresses or to ignore words all in uppercase. Select your options and then click OK. Fireworks will then proceed to spell check the first text box in the document unless you've selected a text box first. If it doesn't find any misspellings in the first text box, it'll go to the next one and then it will stop when it recognizes a word that is not in your current dictionary. Notice that it gives me the various section of the paragraph where the word is found and then it highlights the word that it does not recognize. The options are to Add to Personal. Click on that button to add the unrecognized word to your personal dictionary so that Fireworks will not then trigger the Check Spelling Dialog to come up when that word is encountered again. Or you can choose to ignore the word. That will skip the current instance of the unrecognized word. You can choose Ignore All. This will skip all instances of the unrecognized word during the current spell check session. The next time you spell check, Fireworks once again identifies the word as unrecognized. The Change Button replaces the current instance of the unrecognized word with the text that you type in the Change To Box or with the Selection in the Suggestions List here. So this'll change this word to one of the words here that I select in the Suggestions List. Let's go ahead and change that. Change All replaces all instances of the unrecognized word. So I can replace this word here with the word condiment. I can change all instances of that word there. Delete removes a duplicate word when one is found or it deletes the current word that I've selected right there. Notice that that word now is just gone. You can also click on the Setup Button to go back to the Spelling Setup Dialog where you can set your dictionary, personal dictionary path as well as change your options here. Once Fireworks is done checking the spelling of all of the text boxes and it doesn't find any more words that it doesn't recognize, this dialog will close or you can close the dialog yourself by clicking on the Close Button. If Fireworks doesn't see any misspellings, it'll give you this message. Let's go ahead and choose Text, Check Spelling, spelling check completed. It didn't find any misspelled words or unrecognizable words here in the text boxes. I only have two text boxes and the GeekManuals.com has already been added to my personal dictionary. That concludes this section of the tutorial on working with text in Fireworks CS4. In this section you've learned how to format text using the Properties Inspector, as well as using the Text Menu up here in the Main Menu. You've also learned how to attach text to a path and then modify the formatting of that text. You've learned how to transform text, import text and all about the Fireworks Spell Checker.
