powerpoint spelling dictionary

[JGT]

For reasons I cannot understand the spelling dictionary in PowerPoint (Office
2003) is NOT the same as I have in Word. I have the "Microsoft Office 2003
Language Settings" tool installed. When I check, it showes that I only have
English selected (this is what I want). When I start PowerPoint, click Tools

Language I see that "French (France)" and "English (US)" is checked.

Why is French selected if it does not show in the Office 2003 Language
settings.

If I scroll down this list when I get to the "English" set ALL English
options are checked and the same is true for French. When I check the
settings in Word and Excel only English US is selected.

In PowerPoint if I press the F7 key to start the spelling checker I get a
message that the Italian dictionary is not installed. The Italian dictionary
is NOT slected when I view the Office 2003 language settings.

Suggestions would be appreciated

Its a bit difficult to know the problem without access to your computer but I
would start by looking in
control panel >Regional and language options>Languages>details
Anything to delete there?

No that is not the solution. Just as the Office 2003 Language setting it is
also just "English US".
