Medical dictionary works in Word but not in PPT

[Lee]

Hello,

I was wondering about something. I have Office Pro 2003. I installed a med
spell checker and went into Word and enabled all of the boxes for spelling.
My question is... why doesn't this carry over into Power Point? I looked in
the spelling tab of Power Point but all that is listed for dictionary is
"custom". Under word I have "custom" and 9 additional boxes I had to check.
(lots of med terms LOL) Those 9 boxes do not appear in Power Point therefore
all of my medical terms are underlined in Power Point presentations even
though they are spelled right. Is there a way to carry over the dictionary
into Power Point? It is very time consuming to select each word and right
mouse click and "add to custom dictionary" in Power Point.

Thanks

Lee

Hi Lee,
I think you should open the Medical dictionary seperately when spelling
a medical document.
Look at the attached link.

You might check with the mfg of the spell checker. I never had much luck
getting a medical dictionary set up so that PPT would use it, but I'd
imagine the people who created the spell checker might be able to offer you
some hints.

If the medical dix has a word list you can get at, you could probably import
the words into the dix PPT usually uses.

Or you could try following the instrux at

changing the default custom dix to the medical dix affects what PPT uses for
its spell check.
