Microsoft PowerPoint uses a dictionary of common words to check the spelling in
a presentation. This dictionary is shared with products such as Microsoft Word
and Microsoft Excel. The spelling check will stop on words that are misspelled
or aren't in this dictionary, and you have the option to add the words to a
custom dictionary at that point. The custom dictionary is handy for specialty
terms, such as medical terms or words unique to your work environment.
When you do a spelling check, if the spelling checker finds a word that isn't in
the Microsoft PowerPoint dictionary, it stops on the word and displays the
Spelling dialog box. At that point, you can add the word in question to a custom
dictionary.
In the Not in Dictionary box, make sure you see the word you want to add to a
custom dictionary.
Click Add.
If you have automatic spelling checks turned on, words that aren't in the
PowerPoint dictionary will have a wavy, red underline. Right-click the word that
you want to add, and then click Add on the shortcut menu.
