Spell check command in PowerPoint

[Marcw]

In Word I can create my own subroutine, ToolsProofing(), in which I
have some code and then launch the spell checker through:
ActiveDocument.CheckSpelling. This code fires when the user hits the
toolbar spell check button or F7. Is there any similar way to do this
in PowerPoint?

Our goal is to run code to change the Language ID of text boxes in
PowerPoint. As the language problem appears during spell check I'd
like to have the spell check button run our code and then run the
spell check. Is this possible? I will add a button to the toolbar to
do this, but would prefer using the spell check button as is if
possible.

Thanks,

Hiya Marc,

You can't take over existing control clicks but you can remove an existing
control and supply your own instead. It could run any code you'd like it to,
and I'm fairly sure your code could invoke the spell check.
