Swedish Language error

[JoeyZaZa]

I'm having the same problem as Melker posted on 5/16/2006.

"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 have followed the reply from LUC. I added the macro and it still thinks
something is Swedish. I have alot of text boxes and side notes. Is there
anyway I can FIND the swedish language within the PPT? the PPT is over 250
pages!!!

Thanks,

What is the language setting in Control Panel, Language Settings?

Are you using a Swedish version of PowerPoint or a presentation that was
created based on a Swedish template? PowerPoint "remembers" the language of
the template. I don't know, which macro you used, but one which searches all
shapes on all files should be able to reset the language.

Best regards,
Ute

No I am not useing a Swedish version of PPT. Possibly when creating the
presentation i moved or copied something that was made by someone else.

with out redoing all 200+ pages, how can I find the swedish within the PPT?

If Steve's method doesn't do it for you we have a free addin that changes
everything (text, diagrams, tables, groups etc and the default language) to
any language you want. Just drop me an email (NOTE we close at 12 today so
miss that and it will be Monday!)

Thanks all... Sorry for the delay in getting back to everyone... I actually
went page by page and found the issue. Luckily it was on page 3... Just
deleted the page and started over
Thanks,
