Spell check problem

Hi Patrick,

Been checking to see if we can find out anything. In the
meantime, guess you'll need to run the spellcheck from the
first slide. Sorry.

a PowerPoint 2002 presentation.

>Background: I typically add a code to a presentation's
slide master, consisting of letters and numbers, which
prints on all pages and allows me to find files easily. I
have also unchecked the "Ignore words with numbers" check
box in options.

>Now the problem: Let's say I have a 3-page presentation,
with a code on the slide master, and misspellings on pages
1 and 2, and no misspellings in page 3. If I begin the
spell check on page 3, spell check switches to the slide
master and calls out my code as misspelled -- no problem.
When I click "Ignore," PowerPoint says the spell check is
complete, leaving the misspellings on earlier pages alone.
This is a problem that did not occur in PowerPoint 2000.

slide every time, but I am hoping that someone may have a
better solution -- some sort of option that I can change
that would allow me to, once again, check an entire
presentation's spelling from anywhere in the presentation.
