Can I Spell Check an Entire Folder?
February 12, 2011 11:33 PM Subscribe
I’ve amassed a fairly large collection of documents over the years. Among other things, I keep text files, MS Word documents, PDFs, HTML files and a few other formats. Many of these contain my own writing.
I am a terrible speller.
I was wondering if there was some sort of application that could recursively spell check all documents within a folder, similar to how MS Windows can search for a text string in all documents within a folder.
For the past few days, I’ve been opening every document in my collection (that I wrote) and pasting the text into MS Word to spell-check it. At the rate I am going, this will take months.
Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.
Just spellcheck and re-save when you find the need to open the old file. Probably less work for the same effect. Do you really use all that old stuff?
