spellcheck in English using Turkish Q keyboard

[Sevgi]

Hi,

I have Powerpoint XP English and Windows XP English.
I want to make spellcheck in English. Also I want to write Turkish characters.
So I set my keyboard as Turkish Q and set my powerpoint document language as
English.
But I could not spellcheck in English. When I write something in a text box,
language changes to Turkish.
When I change keyboard to English, I can make spellcheck. But I cannot write
Turkish characters in this situation.

How can I resolve the problem?

Thanks and best regards.
Sevgi

I'm not sure, but I wonder if you change the textbox IDs to English (after
you input all your text using Turkish characters), PPT will perform the
spellcheck then.

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;245468&Product=ppt
has code to change all the textboxes to English.

The only way I know to solve that problem is:

1. Got to the Control Panel / Regional and Language Options
2. Select Languages then click on Details under Text services and input
languages
3. Under Settings / Installed services add English as new input laguage and
select the turkish keyboard layout - this is the trick

Close all dialogs by confirming with ok.

When you write an english text in Powerpoint you have to toggle only the
input language in your language bar to english.

Hope this helped.
