For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
>I have a question about the Framemaker Spell Checker.
>Does anyone know if it is the type of checker that only checks new words
>since the last spell check was run? Or does it actually run through the
>whole file each time?
From my new book:
FrameMaker ordinarily rechecks only paragraphs that have been edited since
the previous check. If you change options after checking a document, you
may want to run the spelling checker again; if so, you need to tell
FrameMaker to mark all paragraphs for rechecking.
To mark all paragraphs for rechecking:
1. On the Edit menu, click Spelling Checker. On the Spelling Checker
dialog, click Dictionaries.
2. On the Dictionary Functions dialog, select Mark All Paragraphs for
Rechecking and click OK.
3. Run the spelling checker as usual.
