From class presentations to complex business proposals, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/store\/b\/powerpoint-2016?&amp;OCID=AID718530_SEM_gxc6Iyj6&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQjww8jcBRDZARIsAJGCSGs1EqEUfd4EQX0wmQL4IgK-ved1Sbpu-R-IM28Ow7Al2UGAxhXhJy8aAunWEALw_wcB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Microsoft PowerPoint 2016<\/a> holds a wide range of benefits for users. Familiarizing yourself with the program\u2019s many features can help you create engaging and error-free presentations every single time.<\/p>\n<p>[youtube https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vKZGf2TxCes]<strong>How To Spell Check Your PowerPoint Presentations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important to make a good impression on your audience when using PowerPoint. This includes proper spelling and grammar throughout the entirety of your presentation. Misspelled words and grammar errors can make for an embarrassing moment in front of classmates or colleagues. This is why it\u2019s important to learn to utilize PowerPoint\u2019s wide range of tools. Knowing when and how to check the spelling within your PowerPoint proves you\u2019ve gone the extra mile to produce a professional presentation that helps your audience clearly understand your talking points.<\/p>\n<p>There are several things you can do to improve the overall user experience. Here are a few steps to follow to spell check your PowerPoint presentation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Run A Spell Check<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>PowerPoint automatically checks spelling for its users. As you type, you might find some words underlined in red. This can happen quite often in the first draft of your presentation, so don\u2019t panic. While PowerPoint will draw attention to your errors automatically, if you\u2019d rather wait until after you\u2019re done with your presentation to spell check, you have that option, as well.<\/p>\n<p>PowerPoint\u2019s <strong>Spelling and Grammar<\/strong> tool was designed to help users create error-free presentations. Once you notice an error, simply right-click on the word to reveal an option for correction. You can also choose the \u201cAdd to Dictionary\u201d option, which will avoid PowerPoint flagging the word for the remainder of the presentation.<\/p>\n<p>If you are ready to spell check your entire presentation after you\u2019re finished, click the \u201c<strong>Review<\/strong>\u201d tab and then click \u201c<strong>Spelling.<\/strong>\u201d PowerPoint will move through each error, offering you options to edit, until you have reviewed them all. PowerPoint will provide alternative options for every error. You may choose one of these suggestions, then click \u201cchange\u201d to correct the spelling error. If there are no suggestions provided, or none that make sense for your presentation, you\u2019ll be able to manually type in the word\u2019s correct spelling.<\/p>\n<p>You can repeat this process for each error you encounter as you navigate your presentation. Once the last error has been corrected, you\u2019ll see a dialog box that will confirm your presentation\u2019s spell check is now complete.<\/p>\n<p>Contrary to popular belief, PowerPoint\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/support.office.com\/en-us\/article\/the-spelling-and-grammar-checker-isn-t-working-as-expected-36a52ba2-147c-4adf-a4d6-6f40fa747be1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Spelling and Grammar<\/strong> tool<\/a> isn\u2019t flawless. For words like proper nouns and people\u2019s names, the system may still detect an error even if there isn\u2019t one. You can easily ignore spelling suggestions if they don\u2019t apply. Just click \u201c<strong>Ignore<\/strong>\u201d to skip a word without changing it. You can also ignore all by clicking \u201c<strong>Ignore All<\/strong>\u201d. This will not only skip the word without changing it, but will also skip over other uses of the word for the remainder of the presentation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Modify Your Proofing Options<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Microsoft PowerPoint allows users to modify and customize proofing options to allow more control over the process. For instance, you have the option of customizing the way PowerPoint notifies you of spelling errors. The grammar check also carries the option of helping you correct contextual spelling errors, further simplifying the process as you type. To modify these proofing options, access Backstage view by clicking the File tab, then select the Proofing option to customize as needed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Find And Replace Words<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Finding and replacing certain words is easy with Microsoft PowerPoint. Doing this can help you save time as you work on your presentation. For Mac users, simply locate the \u201cSearch in PowerPoint\u201d box in the upper-right corner of your screen, then click the arrow right next to it. This will provide the option to \u201c<strong>Replace<\/strong>\u201d text. In the \u201c<strong>Find What<\/strong>\u201d box, type in the word you\u2019d like to locate, then type in the word you\u2019d like to use instead, inside the \u201c<strong>Replace With<\/strong>\u201d box. You can click \u201c<strong>Find Next<\/strong>\u201d to locate the next occurrence of the word, or simply click \u201cReplace All\u201d to replace all occurrences.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Present In Different Languages<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Microsoft Office, above all, is intended to make work more efficient for its users. PowerPoint for instance, allows users to type in different languages, such as Chinese or Arabic. To type your presentation in one of these non-Latin based languages, you first must change your keyboard layout. If you\u2019re unable to locate your desired language through Office, you may need to add it manually or download a <a href=\"https:\/\/support.office.com\/en-us\/article\/language-accessory-pack-for-office-82ee1236-0f9a-45ee-9c72-05b026ee809f?redirectSourcePath=%2fen-us%2farticle%2fdo-i-need-a-language-pack-language-accessory-pack-lap-or-a-language-interface-pack-lip-4548ec6b-6d0e-40aa-8780-7bbee9554e04&amp;ui=en-US&amp;rs=en-US&amp;ad=US\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Language Accessory Pack<\/a>.
