Check the spelling of different languages

This topic assumes you have installed the Microsoft Office XP Multilingual User Interface Pack or Microsoft Office Proofing Tools for the languages you want to use in a web site. In addition, you must enable support for each language through Microsoft Office Language Settings.

You can ensure that Microsoft FrontPage loads the correct spelling dictionary for pages or specific text, by switching the keyboard language before you begin typing.

For example: You create a web site on a computer configured to use the English keyboard. When you begin typing on a new page, FrontPage automatically marks the page as English. If you want to create a Korean page, switch to the Korean keyboard, create the page, and begin typing. When you spell check your web site, FrontPage loads the English spelling dictionary to proof all of the English pages, and the Korean spelling dictionary to proof the Korean pages. If you want to add Spanish text to a page, change your keyboard to Spanish and begin typing. When you spell check your Web site, FrontPage loads the Spanish spelling dictionary to proof the Spanish text.

You can mark a page for a language and mark text as a specific language without changing the keyboard. This is useful if you are creating pages for authors who will later enter text on those pages on a computer using the specified language.
