If the spelling checker doesn't flag or correct every misspelled word, or if you click Change All in the Spelling dialog box but not all misspelled words are corrected, the following might be possible causes:

• Microsoft PowerPoint does not check the spelling in embedded objects (embedded object: Information (object) contained in a source file and inserted into a destination file. Once embedded, the object becomes part of the destination file. Changes you make to the embedded object are reflected in the destination file.) such as charts, in special text effects such as WordArt, or in inserted objects such as Microsoft Word documents or tables.
• Part of the text in your presentation might be formatted with (no proofing). Spelling errors are ignored in text that is formatted with (no proofing). Spelling errors will continue to be identified in the rest of the presentation.

  To avoid this situation, do not apply the (no proofing) option. If (no proofing) has been applied to any of the text, you can turn off this option by choosing a language for the text in question:

  1. Select the text that has (no proofing) applied to it.
  2. On the Tools menu, click Language.
  3. In the Mark selected text as box, click the language that you want the spelling checker to use, and then click OK.
