[mso] Re: PowerPoint Spell Check

If your spelling checker works OK in Word and in some of the PP 
presentations, the problem is probably with the presentation files. The 
language may be independently set for any text selection inside the 
presentation, and so you may check it once and find it's english, and not 
notice the foreign language setting lower on. I would suggest that you take 
one of the presentations which are having the problem, and go through it 
checking the spelling. If you click OK when the message is first displayed, 
you'll notice that the spelling checker will skip the text that's in the 
language it didn't find the checker for (you'll see this because that part 
of the text will not get highlighted). It's a slow job but it may just find 
the problem text for you.
