  7. The option ignores the spell check for this word—for this instance and also for any repeating instances of this word in theactive presentation.
  8. Add to Dictionary

  9. Using the option, you can quickly add this word to PowerPoint's spelling dictionary.You will never be prompted to correct this spelling again. Do note that PowerPoint shares the same dictionary with other MicrosoftOffice programs such as Word, Outlook and Excel. And yes, those programs will also consider the new spelling as acceptable.
  10. PowerPoint's spell checker does not check for spelling errors in charts and any other inserted objects. Even with PowerPoint2013, which relies on fewer inserted objects, charts are actually an instance of Microsoft Excel working behind the scenes. Also,PowerPoint only spell checks content that is part of PowerPoint.
  11. Fortunately PowerPoint does spell check any text within text placeholders and text boxes on your slides. It also looks forspelling errors in text contained within tables, SmartArt, slide notes, and shapes. Remember though, that you must always manuallycheck all spellings within charts!
  12. Remember that everything on your PowerPoint slide is larger than life. A spelling error within a 20 page Word document may goun-noticed but the same misspelled word in 44 pt. size as a title of your PowerPoint slide will attract a disproportionate amount of attention,making the slide and the presenter look unprofessional. Make sure you spell check all your slide content before you present!
