Have set the language for my Slides and Notes to EnglishNZ.

Spell Checker works for my slides, however does not pick up misspelled words
in my Notes section.

Hm. PPT spellcheck works on the notes here. Is there anything special about
your notes? And are you sure there are misspelled words in them?

Which version of PPT?

I am using PowerPoint 2000 SP 3.

When I first try using the Spell Checker get the following error message:
"Powerpoint can't find the spelling files for the default language"

Am now finding that the Spell Checker does not work for the Slides either.

The language is set as English(New Zealand)

Do not have any problems with the Spell Checker in Word, using the same
language.

I'd bet that the objects on your slides are set to a different language,
then.

See Sample Code to Change the Language ID of a Text Box

You might want to double-check Tools/Language to see that new presentations
with new objects will be set to English NZ by default.
