Summary:

The information below is taken from the PowerPoint version 2.00 Help file for checking spelling.

To check the spelling in your presentation:

  Choose Spelling from the Text menu. The Spelling dialog box appears.   Click the Check Spelling button. A misspelled word (if any exist) appears.   Edit it here and click Change. To ignore the misspelling (for instance if it’s a proper name) click Ignore. To add the word to your custom dictionary, click Add. If you want PowerPoint to suggest the proper spelling:   Click Suggest and possible spellings appear here.   Select the spelling you want for the word and click Change.    Click Check Spelling to search for the next misspelled word in the presentation. 

To see the words in your custom dictionary, or to create a new custom dictionary, click Added Words.
