One of the worst things that you can do (well, almost one of the worst)
is to have misspelled words on your Web page. Not only do they dis-
tract the reader, they distract from the overall impression of profession-
alism that you're trying to imply. Besides, since everyone on the planet
knows there's something called a spellchecker there's simply no
excuse for misspelled words. Fortunately, Dreamweaver includes a
simple spellchecker to help avoid such awkward moments. You should
always spell check a Web page before it's moved online. One other fine
point: Using a spellchecker does not mean that the words are used cor-
rectly. For example, to, too, and two, are all spelled correctly; however,
they have very different meanings. So, the order of events follows:
Spell Check first; then read the text (called type editing), and be sure
that it makes sense.
Checking Spelling
Check Spelling
Open the Web page you want to
spell check.
Click the Commands menu, and
then click Check Spelling.
TIMESAVER
Press Shift+F7 to
check spelling.
Dreamweaver begins the spell
check process and stops on the
first problem word.
Use the following options to work
with the problem word:
◆ Word Not Found In Dictionary.

Displays the offending word,
and highlights the word in the
Web page document.
◆ Change To. Type in the word
you want to use to substitute
for the offending word.
◆ Suggestions. Choose an option
from the listed suggestions.
◆ Add To Personal. Click to add
the offending word to
Dreamweaver's personal
dictionary. Excellent for names
or technical terms that are
spelled correctly, but keep
coming up as misspelled.

Choose from the following controls
to change the selection:
◆ Ignore. Ignore the word,
proceed to the next offending
word, and don't add the word
to the personal dictionary.
◆ Change. Change the word;
based on the text in the Change

To dialog box, or the
appropriate selected
suggestion.
◆ Ignore All. Ignore all
occurrences of the offending
word, but don't add to the
personal dictionary.
◆ Change All. Change all
occurrences of the offending
word.
Click Close to close the Check
Spelling dialog box, or click OK
when the spell check is
completed.

Probably one of the greatest inventions of the computer industry is the
ability to Undo, and Redo. Now, if we could just figure out how to give
real life an undo feature… that would be something. Dreamweaver
gives us the ability to undo our past mistakes, and redo something we
wished we had not removed. The History panel shows the actions
you've just taken in Dreamweaver, and enables you to undo or repeat
any number of steps. History gives us the ability to control our working
environment, and allows us to try creative ideas; knowing full well, that
if we make a mistake, it's a simple matter to go back in time. The
History panel is Dreamweaver's time machine.
Using Undo and Redo
Undo or Redo One Action
at a Time
◆ Click the Edit menu, and then click
Undo, or click the Undo button on
the Standard toolbar to reverse
your most recent action, such as
typing a word or formatting a
paragraph.

TIMESAVER
Press Ctrl+Z (Win)
or
A
+Z (Mac) to undo.
◆ Click the Edit menu, and then click
Redo, or click the Redo button on
the Standard toolbar to restore the
last action you reversed.

Press Ctrl+Y to
redo your undo.
Click to Undo or
Redo the previous
command or action.

You can change the number of History
Steps.
The default number of History
steps is 50; while that may seem
enough for most folks, you can change
the number of steps in Preferences.
Click the Edit (Win) or Dreamweaver
(Mac) menu, click Preferences, click
the General category, and then change

the number of steps. The maximum
value for history steps is 9,999… that's
a lot of steps. When you’re done, click
OK.

You can use the Fonts section of the Preferences dialog box to view
encoding for the selected font and size you want. File encoding makes
sure your Web browser and Dreamweaver use the right character set
for the selected language. The fonts you select in the Preferences dia-
log box don’t affect the page display in a Web browser, however, it
does affect the page display in Dreamweaver. You can specify the font
and size you want to use in Code view, or as a proportional or fixed
font.
