How to change language in a document?

M

Melker

I have US English set as Office 2003 default language. I have a Power Point
document which I write in English. However, the document "thinks" it is in
Swedish and thus discovers a lot of spelling errors. I can mark text and
change it to English, but all new text I enter will still be regarded as
Swedish. I cannot find a way to change the document to English once and for
all. Help doesn't provide any clues!

Melker,
Open your presentation and choose the outline tab on the left of your
screen, this shows you all of the text you put in the slides in
placeholders. Now select them all CTRL+A. Choose Tools and Language, select
English as the language and hit OK. Textboxes you drew yourself will
unfortunately not be affected. For this you might want to look her for some
code:
