Checking Your Spelling
PowerPoint allows you check your spelling in two ways. By default, the program checks spelling as you type, and misspellings show up on your slides with red dotted underlines (Figure 4.45). Right-click on the underlined word to get a shortcut menu that includes possible replacements. Or you can check spelling manually.
Figure 4.45 When dynamic spellchecking is turned on, PowerPoint flags suspect text with a dotted red underline.
To check spelling manually:
- Choose Review > Proofing > Spelling (Figure 4.46), or press F7.
Figure 4.46 Click the Spelling button to run a manual spell check.
Figure 4.47 Use the controls in the Spelling window to check your spelling manually and to add new words to the spelling dictionary.
