Powerpoint 2007 spellchecker misses everything ------ any ideas?
The spellchecker in powerpoint misses every spelling error. We can't find any
fix or help regarding this. Even if we manually select to spell check a document (vs. autocorrect) it misses all errors. We're very frustrated are hoping others have experienced this and have a fix. We've adjusted all the configurations. No it's not the French problem either. Thanx in advance

Powerpoint 2007 spellchecker misses everything ------ any idea
Hi John,
Yes - spell works in word, excel, outlook etc... Just doesn't work in Powerpoint. It's also not isolated. 5 of us are experiencing the same issue. We've gone through the usual steps, checked the dictionary, made sure we were in english, toggled the autocorrect and hide errors boxes. Nothing works. I'm not talking about text embedded in objects either. Just plain old bullet points etc... Andy "John Wilson" wrote: Andy Is this 2007?

Wonder if the language of the textboxes isn't set to English to begin with?
Select a placeholder and go to Review | Language. What's it set to?

Echo,
Thanx for the reply. I checked the review / language on the placeholders and it's set to US English. That wasn't it. This is driving us nuts.

Powerpoint 2007 spellchecker misses everything ------ any idea
Thanx John,
I checkec what you and Echo suggested. Everything is fine on both counts. I have no disabled add-ins of any kind. The only active add-ins are PDF Maker and the outlook Business Contact Manager There are a few inactive add-ins but they're all about non-visible content (and we have no hidden content anyway) Any other ideas? We have absolutely no faith in Powerpoint spelling right now. Driving us nuts.
