PowerPoint checks your spelling automatically as you type.  Errors are highlighted

with a red wavy line under it. Right-click and then select the correct spelling from

the list of suggestions that appears.

To perform spell check manually, press F7 on your keyboard or go to the “Reviews”

tab and click on the “Spelling” icon. The Spelling dialog box opens with the spelling

error highlighted. Make your corrections accordingly.

Function                                    Action

Ignore                                        Does not change spelling

Ignore All                                   Accepts spelling as correct. Does not change it in the entire

                                                  presentation

Change                                      Corrects the spelling to the suggestion highlighted or entered

Change All                                 Corrects all instances of the word in the entire presentation

Add                                            Adds a word to the dictionary

Autocorrect                               Automatically replaces the word with the newly selected spelling

Suggest                                     Finds suggestions if no auto suggestion was available

 

Once all possible corrections have been made, it will display a dialog box confirming that

spell check is complete. Click ok.

 

 

To perform spell check manually, press F7 on your keyboard or go to the “Reviews” tab and click on the “Spelling” icon.

The spelling check is complete.
