I have a problem. If I type an abbreviation in PowerPoint such as gr., sbr.
and skv. (in Icelandic) the program freezes and I have to end the program in
Task Manager. What can I do?
 
"Doctor, doctor, it hurts when I do this."

"Don't do that."

It looks like you have some kind of problem with AutoCorrect. If you go
to the Tools menu and choose AutoCorrect Options and click on the
AutoCorrect tab, you can uncheck the box for "Replace text as you type."
See if this helps. If it does, you definitely have an AutoCorrect
problem. Also, try Detect and Repair from the Help menu.

Choose Tools, AutoCorrect Options.

See if the abbreviations are listed in the Replace/With area. If so, Delete
them.

You might also want to experiment with the different "AutoFormat as you Type"
options. Perhaps disable them all; if that solves the problem, enable them
one by one until you find the one that causes the problem.

If that doesn't help, try Tools, Options, Spelling and Style; try disabling
all the options there, then re-enabling them until you find the problem one.
