Hi,
Does anybody know how to change language to a complete Power Point file?
I'm working (translating and editing) from English (EEUU) to Spanish (Argentina).
This document was prepared in English and I have to change language into Spanish each time I edit every single text box or image.
I selected all slides from the left margin and changed language, but nothing happened.
Then, I tried to make Spanish the default language, but there was no result.

I'm not working with Trados this time.
Can anybody help me with this?
Thank you very much.

Hi Paola,
I was given a very useful add-in file to change the language in entire Powerpoint files by a fellow Prozian, Terry Richards. I can't find the correspondence now, but I just contacted him via ProZ and he very kindly sent me the file which makes life much easier - thanks again Terry! The only problem is that it only works for US/UK English, so I don't know how easy it would be to adapt it for Spanish.
Good luck!
Claire

Hi everyone,
Thank you very much and sorry for my delay to answer.
I talked to an expert (if compared with me she is an expert with computers and software) and she told me what I want is not possible and that I have to change language box by box.
I don't know a word about programming and complicated "macros" and so on, that's way your answers appear a little difficult for me to understand.
I managed to do it my way, but the doubt still remains.

Is it possible?
With Office 2003 I think it is not, at least not easily for a basic user.
Kind regards and excuse my little knowledge in this field.
