Changing Proofing Language for an Entire Presentation in PowerPoint
I am an independent advisor and have investigated and tested this inquiry.
You can assign the Set Proofing Language to all text boxes on a page or to all slides at once in PowerPoint Desktop.
- You must change the view to Outline.
From the ribbon, Select View | Outline
From the left Outline navigation pane, complete the appropriate options below
Option 1: Individual Slide: Click on one slide, then press Ctrl + A to select all content on the page.
Option 2: Multiple slides: While holding down the Ctrl key, click on the preferred slides. For example, Slides 1 and 3. This method selects and deselects multiple objects and the content on the page.
Option 3: Entire presentation: This time, select all slides by pressing Ctrl + A
- Now, you can set your proofing language.
From the ribbon, select Review | Language | Set Proofing Language - Choose your language

You have to be in Outline view for the Review/Language/Set Proofing Language option to un-grey. I use Powerpoint from Office 365 in Windows 11.
Thanks for responding, but that is not the issue I am having. I CAN access the Set Proofing Language option. I just no longer see the options to CHANGE ALL TEXT ON SLIDE or CHANGE ALL TEXT IN DOCUMENT - which I used to be able to see and use. And which were super useful. See point number 4 from Quaray above: 4) Click "All Text" at the bottom of the pop-up window
