powerpoint >> PPT Auto Capitalization causes spellcheck error

Processor: Intel

I am going to ask the same question again, as no-one replied before, and the problem still exists even though I run a different computer now:
After auto capitalizing the first word in eg a list, the spellchecker thinks the new capital letter is separate from the rest of its word, so I end up with dozens of red underlines telling me my words don't exist. Khaled and someone else have previously reported it, but were more or less dismissed as being one-offs. Allied to this is the problem of never being able to set the default dictionary to English (UK). Keeps defaulting back to USA English, no matter how many times I reset it. It is so annoying.

Someone MUST surely have an answer although the other earlier guys did not get a solution.

Can't help you. Auto capitalization doesn't cause a spellcheck error on my system (MacBook Pro, 10.5.7, PPT 12.1.9). In addition, my version of PPT doesn't offer multiple English dictionaries.

I can't even begin to tell you how much I hate how Entourage auto caps words
for me. It has added a tremendous amount of time, instead of helping it
hurts. If I have to re-write iMac ONE more time...

Anyhoo, sorry for the rant. How do I turn off auto-capitalization? Thank you
very  much!!!

4. SpellCheck or Auto-Check in Mac Word?

I'm a Mac newbie after 15 years w/ Windows. I had Mac Office 2004 
pre-installed on my OS 10, but I can't find the setting to turn on the 
SpellCheck with WORD.
In my Windows Word it highlights mis-spells as I go. Can Mac WORD do 
this, or is there SpellCheck? I can't find the setting and any 
documentation is packed in a storage unit until my new home is ready. 
ANY HELP?..............joe (in his little apt. haha)

8. Powerpoint Error Message Caused by Inserted Excel Object

I am working in Powerpoint with inserted Excel charts.  
While one of the Excel charts was open (still in 
Powerpoint) I received an "error occurred and this program 
will close" message.  Then the Excel chart grayed out on 
the Powerpoint screen.  Next, my error message from 
Powerpoint is: "The presentation contains open inserted 
objects that can't be closed automatically.  Close the 
objects and try again."

I have tried deleting the offending chart from the slide 
and am not even allowed to go to other slides in the 
presentation.  Is there any option other than entirely 
shutting my computer down and rebooting?  I am afraid that 
I will lose my work.
