Mr. Smith

Hi.
How can I "force" Power Point to use the same spell check language on every
slide, in every text box. Right now I expirience that some slides are in my
native langugae and some slides are in English UK. And by default all new
text boxes added to slides are set to English UK.

Any hints appreciated.

Kind regards

Mr. Smith
 
Thanks Echo it was helpfull!!

Regards
Mr. Smith

I think you'll have to change the language ID of all the textboxes. See

Isn't there a way to do the same without coding? I'm not a programmer...

You'd have to do it manually for each textbox -- right-click each and choose
Language.

The code isn't difficult, though -- you don't have to be a programmer
because the code's already written and available in the sample in the KB
article.

Thanks for your tips.
But I still think there should be an easier way to do this: for e.g.
allowing user to select all slides in Slide Sorter view, then click Tools>
Language. Right now, the Language option is deactivated.

suggestions....
