How To: Spell Check InfoPath web form in SharePoint

June 22, 2011 · 1 min read

UPDATE (11/11/2013): This post is specifically for SharePoint 2007. I have a slightly different scenario for SharePoint 2010 but managed to achieve Spell Check using a different method. Here's my blog post for SharePoint 2010.

This post is a compiled version of Steve Cavanagh's blog post on How To: Spell Check an InfoPath form displayed via XmlFormView. Many are not able to follow Steve's instructions due to lack of details. See below a downloadable zip of all changes need installed for your InfoPath Spell Checker.

File Contents:

  • CustomSpellCheckEntirePage.js - This is a customized SpellCheckEntirePage.js which includes changes outlined in Steve's post above.  
  • FormServer.aspx - Note that this will replace the exisitng FormServer.aspx - this file acts like a masterpage for all infopath forms. So this change will add the spellchecker to all infopath forms in the sharepoint farm. Only thing i changed here is to add the 'Spell Check' link before and after the form.  
  • ReadMe.rtf - Contains instructions where to copy the files to in your MOSS WFE server.
