Powerpoint language problem

[sue.robinson]

I have a powerpoint presentation (.ppt) that was created in France.
My Keyboard settings are set to English (UK).
I have run the macro from the microsoft web site to change all existing
textboxes to English (UK).
I have clicked on Default (with the language set to Englisk (UK)) to
set the default language to UK. (and added code to my macro, to do
this)
I have saved the presentation as a .pot so we in England can use it as
a template.

The problem that I have is that, inside a text box, if i do a carriage
return and then start typing, the new text is defined as being French.
Hence when I do a spell check, it looks for the French dictionary.

What I want is for the template to be purely English.

I have Microsoft Windows 2000 with service pack 4
Office XP with service pack 3.

I think I have solved the problem.
I deleted all the text boxes in the presentation, and recreated them.
In the case of one slide I had to recreate the whole slide,
as when I was testing, about 5 lines down the page, the language again
changed to French.
