how do i remove a language from a powerpoint doc?

[Guest]

A powerpoint doc I am working on has US English and French embedded into it -
but I only want to use UK English.

It appears to be prioritising the french dictionary - so all my english
words are appearing as 'unknowns' in the dictionary. (e.g. it's never heard
of the word 'germany').

How do I remove the unwanted languages ?

Just a thought open your presentation and choose the outline tab on the left
of your screen, this shows you all of the text you put in the slides. Now
select them all (CTRL+A). Choose tools and language, select English as the
language and hit OK. This works for me here in PPT 2003, I am almost certain
it does in PPT 2002 also.

My suggestion will only work if the text is in placeholders, though. I do
not know about textboxes you draw yourself. Maybe somebody else will have
better ideas on that one.

Another possibility might be to change the language IDs of the textboxes to
English. I suspect they're all in the language your correspondent used to
create
the presentation, PPT get's it default from the keyboard layout.
