Default Powerpoint spell check

Spell check works in Word, but not in PowerPoint. In PPT, I just get a box
that says The Spelling Check is Complete, but it does not catch any errors.

What happens if you create a new presentation - put a few obvious spelling
mistakes an d then do a spell check?

I'm guessing that either bad words have been added to the dictionary or
someone has chose to 'ignore' the names and spelling mistakes in this
particular presentation

Default PowerPoint does not spell check

I am having the same problem. PowerPoint will not spellcheck. I have searched around the Internet for a solution without success.

If I attempt to spell check a Power Point with obvious spelling errors; Nothing happens except for the display of the dialog that says "The spelling check is complete"

What would cause PowerPoint to be unable to spell check?
