Spellcheck picking up correct spelling?

[Guest]

I've got a PPT going, and almost every single word is higlighted as being
incorrectly spelled.

I've checked under Tools, Language, and Tools, Options, and everything seems
set to English.

Any other ideas?

I'm talking about words like "given", "thorough", "understanding", etc.,
i.e., basic words that I know are not misspelled -- some are not even coming
up with suggestions??!?!

Did you SELECT an offending textbox / placeholder before checking in Tools >
language?

 

[Guest]

Just tried that . . . I didn't know you could have different language
settings for different text boxes . . . .

Is there anywhere you can turn that "feature" off?

Thanks!!!!

You can reset all textboxes with vba

something like

Sub lingoswap()
Dim osld As Slide
Dim oshp As Shape
For Each osld In ActivePresentation.Slides
For Each oshp In osld.Shapes
If oshp.HasTextFrame Then
oshp.TextFrame.TextRange.LanguageID = msoLanguageIDEnglishUK
End If
Next oshp
Next osld
End Sub
