231071 2004-04-22 01:17:00 I have a problem with spelling in that powerpoint is not picking up any spelling errors.

I have gone into options and everything is set as it should be. I even unticked all the ignore cases.

When I manually run a spellcheck it says "spellcheck complete"

I have been searching but haven't found a solution. Any ideas?

231072 2004-04-22 01:25:00 you will need to select the text box(s) containing the text that you need spell checked, select: Tools Menu: Language, then select the appropriate spell check language like: English - NZ or English - Aus.

Hope this helps?

It's something to do with the default proofing options for new text boxes...

I've never really been a powerpoint person.
