Switch off autocorrection in PowerPoint
You can switch off autocorrection in PowerPoint in just a few steps. Depending on the version, the way to the correct setting differs slightly. Since PowerPoint 2007 and 2010 are the most widespread at the moment, this practical tip explains how to find the right setting there.
Disable spell checking in PowerPoint 2007
- First click on the Office button (see screenshot). Then click on "Powerpoint Options" at the bottom.
- In the menu that opens, select "Document check" on the left and remove the checkmarks from "Hide spelling errors" and "Check spelling as you type".
Switch off autocorrection in PowerPoint 2010
In PowerPoint 2010 you basically switch off the function in the same way as in PowerPoint 2007. Just click on "File" in the menu bar at the top left and then on "Options" in the right column. Then the route is analogous to the 2007 version (see screenshot).
