PPT can't find the spelling file for English (US)

[tcarp]

Recently I started getting the subject error message in ppt.

It only allows OK for a response and seems to continue properly.

Not sure what you mean by subject error message. Please provide the exact
wording from the error message.

The "subject" was the subject for the post.

The exact message is: "PPT can't find the spelling file for English (US)"

I haven't seen that exact error before. What version of PowerPoint?

Looks like this is for PPT 98. Thanks for checking.

I'll keep an eye on any future occurrences to see if there's a pattern.
