Default How do I keep the language from changing in my Notes section?

Not sure what's going on but as I type in the Notes section, the language
changes from English to Australian English and on some slides to Czech. You
notice this as you type and incorrect symbols display in the Notes section or
word that should be correctly spelled are suddenly underlined as being
incorrectly spelled. In the status bar, the current language displays. I've
tried highlighting all the text in the Note box and then double-clicking the
status bar and changing the language back to English - and even tried using
the default language setting in the dialog box. But, when I begin typing
again and get to a specific section in the Notes section - the language
changes back to Czech. It's very annoying. Is there a way to change this
WITHOUT having to become a VB expert?
Thanks!

I was able to repro the initial situation in PPT 2003 but when I clicked in the
Notes text area then chose Select All, I was able to use Tools, Language to set
the language back to (in my case) US English and that seems to have eliminated
the other languages completely.
