Is there a way to set all text boxes and tekst in objects in my presentation at the same language (e.g. english U.S.) instantly? Now I have to go slide by slide, select all and choose the language (and I've got couple hundred slides...)

A piece of VB code should be able to do the trick in one sec I think.... Do you know how to solve that?

Have you tried setting your language preference in Control Panel | Regional
Settings?

Hello,

PowerPoint only provides the ability to change selected text to a specific
Language setting and, since you cannot always select all text in a
presentation at the same time you cannot change the language of all text in
a presentation in one step (without using VBA or add-ins -
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=245468).

If you (or anyone else reading this message) think that there should be
additional language setting/detection/etc. features in PowerPoint, don't
forget to send your feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS, please) to Microsoft at:

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also WHY it is important to you that your product suggestion
be implemented by Microsoft. Microsoft receives thousands of product
suggestions every day and we read each one but, in any given product
development cycle, there are only sufficient resources to address the ones
that are most important to our customers so take the extra time to state
your case as clearly and completely as possible.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions)
