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

- Worked like a charm for me on Office365. Thanks!
Thank you for your comment. It validates that the instructions still work correctly for others viewing this post.

Teresa_Cyrus works for me 🙂
Thank you!!!!!Teresa_Cyrus This doesn't change the whole document's proofing language so some words are still marked as incorrect and when I inspect those paragraphs they still default to US English. The only way to resolve this is to highlight each paragraph and change it to in my case UK English. This is absurd and frustrating in equal measures.
- Thank you!
Teresa_Cyrus This works for me. Thanks!
Teresa_Cyrus Thanks a lot, it worked perfectly, and it opens new ways of creating documents for me. Thanks again. Daniel
- Thanks so much, been missing this feature so many times until I looked it up today and found your post
