How to Check Spelling in PowerPoint 2007

PowerPoint 2007 is part of Microsoft's Office 2007 suite of office applications and is used to develop presentations, especially for slide shows. Users already familiar with other Office applications like Word will find the spelling check function in PowerPoint to be quite similar. Read on to learn more.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

1. Start PowerPoint 2007 and open the presentation you wish to spell check. Spell checking can be done automatically or in an explicit spell checking session.
2. Check spelling automatically. PowerPoint's spell checker is turned on by default and will automatically check the presentation against its built-in dictionary. The English-language version of Office 2007 contains English, French and Spanish dictionaries.
3. Observe as the spell checker underlines any words not in its dictionary with a wavy red underline. You may right click any of these words to display a list of possible spellings.
4. Choose the correct spelling from the list and the word will be changed in the presentation. You can also select the "Ignore All" option to tell PowerPoint to ignore all occurrences of this word.
5. Select the "Review" tab and look in the "Proofing" group for the "Spelling" icon. Click the "Spelling" icon to start a spell check session. PowerPoint will then display the "Spelling" dialogue box each time it finds a word not in its dictionary.
6. Indicate how you want PowerPoint to handle that word and it will advance to the next misspelled word. Repeat this process until the entire presentation has been checked.
7. Add words flagged as misspellings to CUSTOM.DIC, PowerPoint's supplemental dictionary. You may also use dictionaries from other Microsoft programs or create your own custom dictionaries.
