When the anchor point for the frame is encountered by the spell-checker, all of the text in the frame is spell-checked. Frames are placed on the same layer as the text, as well. Another approach is to convert the text boxes to frames (as described in other issues of WordTips). For instance, you could use tables instead of text boxes they are placed on the text layer and processed with the rest of the text by the spell-checker. If this wait-until-last approach to spell-checking bothers you, then you may want to use a different design element rather than text boxes. The spell-checker finishes everything on the text layer before it starts checking things on the other layers of the document. Why? Because text boxes are not on the same "layer" as the rest of the document. If you start doing a spell-check at the beginning of your document, Word goes through all five pages of the text before it actually does the spell-check on the text boxes.
Let's say that you have a five-page document, with text boxes on pages one and two. In testing this problem, we actually found out that the text in text boxes is spell-checked it is not ignored. She uses text boxes extensively for her layout design, and Word seems to ignore the text in the text boxes when it comes time to spell check. Laney asked if there was a way to spell-check text within text boxes.
