Default Language

[Ibrahim Awwad]

Hi All,
As we are working in a multinational firm, sometimes I got files (ppt) from
another country and the default languane isn't English on such PCs. So
whenever I work on that templates, I found a lot spelling mistakes because it
doesn't recognize the English. I go for the language an make English as
default, but this corrects only the word I'm selecting, not all the
presentation.
Do you have any idea how to solv this.

Ibrahim,
If your text is mainly in placeholders you could select all your slides in
the outline view on your left (first tab), you can do that using Ctrl+A.
Then go to Tools - language - select English as the language and hit OK.
If you also have in textboxes have a look here:

Hope this helps:

I use Masters a lot and have gone in there, selected all text (Ctrl+A) and
changed Language to UK-English.
When I create a new slide and click in the empty placeholders, the bottom
status bar shows that the language is UK-English. However, when I actually
start to type in the placeholders, the language changes to US-English.

What else can I do to set default language to UK-English?
