Powerpoint's Being Stubborn...

I'm trying to do a Powerpoint slideshow for a class on ADHD and have stumbled upon a little annoyance.

The last time I did a slide show I did the whole thing in Spanish (it was for a Spanish class). Now, it seems to think Spanish is a default language, so whenever I start to type in the slide in English the spell check red lines show up.

I've sort of fixed it by clicking at the bottom where it shows what language the slide show is in and choosing English, but it only works on that slide or on a certain portion of the slide. If I start to work in another section or on a new slide, it "forgets" I've set it to English and starts trying to correct my English as Spanish.

How do I get it to knock it off? This is Powerpoint 2007, bee tee dubs.

 

Make one slide. Set it to English. Copy it. Paste it for how the number of slides you need. That should work, other wise I don't know. Hope that helps.

 

There should be a setting somewhere that sets the default language. I know there is one in Word, so powerpoint should have one too. I don't know the details, but there should be one. Maybe in association with the dictionary on there.

 

There is, along the bottom where I change the language, there is an option to reset to default, and I tried that, and it only works for the slide I did it on. Strange, when it says "the whole document" in the prompt that pops up.

That would help...except this has to be a 30-min. presentation. Hence, a lot of slides to have to do that over and over again.

 

I think you have to close Powerpoint and open it again after you change the language. I had the same problem with Word 2007 and that seemed to fix it. But you've probably already tried that.

 

Yeah...that did it. ^^; I just opened it now (after having not worked on said slide show for almost 12 hours) to do some stuff, and English was set.

Thanks to both Misty and The Fuk?

This can get closed now. I've written this down somewhere to avoid asking this again.

 

Closed since the question was answered.
