Dictionaries/Languages in Powerpoint 2000

'I;ve selected "English (U.S.)" as the default language in a Powerpoint 2000
presentation for spell checking. One page in the entire presentation was from
a presentation created in Germany by one of our overseas offices. The entire
presentation takes on "German" as the default language, and when I spell
check, nothing I do permanently changes the default language/dictionary back
to English U.S. I've even tried cutting and pasting the whole presentation
into a new template. The language/dictionary still defaults back to German.

You need to change the language IDs of all the textboxes. Here's the code to
do so.

I will need to copy and paste the code into a macro into each presentation
that contains languages other than English from now on?
