How to Add a Dictionary to PowerPoint

Microsoft PowerPoint is the slideshow presentation-authoring software included in the Microsoft Office suite of productivity products. PowerPoint includes many user features, including the ability to spell-check a slide or an entire presentation. Installed by default with PowerPoint is the main spell-check dictionary.

2. Click the "File" tab.

3. Click the "Options" button in the section labeled "Help" and then click "Proofing."

4. Un-check the check box next to the option "Suggest from main dictionary only."

5. Click the "Custom Dictionaries" button. A list of custom dictionaries is displayed.

6. Check the check box next to the custom dictionary to use and click "Save."

7. Click "OK." Click "OK" once more to close the dialog box. The custom dictionary is added to PowerPoint.
