Mac users have the option of opening the presentation in Keynote, change the language as required, and then export it back to Powerpoint Remove rant

| Nov 8, 2017 at 9:45 | comment | added | lebatsnok | It seems that the newest version of PowerPoint is especially buggy in this respect. I have a text box where I've changed the language of all text to language A. (The default language is B.) So when I start typing within that text box, the language automatically changes to B. I thought maybe changing the default language helps (having tried everything else) but no. Now the default language is A, the language of all other text in the text box is A (and I've restarted PP) but all new text still appears as B. So my only remaining question is: is there a way to switch proofing off altogether? | |
