Swedish Language error
I'm having the same problem as Melker posted on 5/16/2006.
"I have US English set as Office 2003 default language. I have a Power Point document which I write in English. However, the document "thinks" it is in Swedish and thus discovers a lot of spelling errors. I can mark text and change it to English, but all new text I enter will still be regarded as Swedish. " I have followed the reply from LUC. I added the macro and it still thinks something is Swedish. I have alot of text boxes and side notes. Is there anyway I can FIND the swedish language within the PPT? the PPT is over 250 pages!!! Thanks, |

Are you using a Swedish version of PowerPoint or a presentation that was
created based on a Swedish template? PowerPoint "remembers" the language of the template. I don't know, which macro you used, but one which searches all shapes on all files should be able to reset the language.

Open the presentation and while it's the active presentation, run this:
Sub WhatSprach() With ActivePresentation MsgBox .DefaultLanguageID ' will show 1033 if USEnglish ' will show 1053 if Swedish, 2077 if SwedishFinland ' and this will set it to US English .DefaultLanguageID = msoLanguageIDEnglishUS ' or EnglishUK or EnglishAUS or ....
