It's easy to turn on spell check in PowerPoint and ensure your presentations are accurate and error-free. Here are the steps you need to take:
- Open the PowerPoint presentation that you want to enable spell checking in.
- Click on the ‘File’ tab in the top left-hand corner of the presentation.
- Next, select ‘Options’ from the bottom left of the slide-out menu.
- In the ‘PowerPoint Options’ screen that appears, click ‘Proofing’ from the list of options on the left.
- Under the ‘Exceptions for’ section on the right, check the box next to ‘Hide spelling errors in this presentation’.
- Click ‘OK’ at the bottom of the screen to save your changes and turn on spell checking.
Now anytime you type anything into PowerPoint, it will be checked for spelling errors. However, please note that this won't fix existing spellings errors. To review the spelling of your entire presentation, use the ‘Spelling’ function located in the ‘Review’ tab.
