Check spelling

Microsoft PowerPoint doesn't check the spelling in embedded objects such as charts, in special text effects such as WordArt, or in inserted objects such as Microsoft Word documents.

Do one of the following:

Check spelling in the whole presentation

1. On the Standard toolbar, click Spelling .
2. Select the option you want for each word the spelling check stops on ù either to change it to the suggested spelling, ignore it, add it to the custom dictionary, or add it to the AutoCorrect list.

Note   If the insertion point is in the notes pane or slide pane, the spelling check alternates checking between the two. If the insertion point is on the Outline tab, all the slides are checked first, then all the notes.

Check spelling as you type

1. On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Spelling and Style tab.
2. Select the Check spelling as you type check box.
3. To choose from a list of possible corrections, in your presentation, right-click the word that has the wavy, red line, and then click an option on the shortcut menu.

Note   In the Options dialog box, use the other check boxes under Spelling to further control the spelling checks.
