Hour 12, "Using SpellCheck and the Thesaurus," already provided the lecture on the importance of spellchecking your document. Now imagine your misspelled word spread across a screen in 18 inch letters before 250 people. Follow the easy steps that follow to spellcheck every presentation.
You can run the StarOffice spellcheck from any slide view; however, the Outline view might be the fastest and most convenient because each slide doesn't have to be graphically drawn during spellcheck.
The spellcheck options for a presentation are the same as those for a document (as described in Hour 12):
The AutoCorrect option fixes many simple typing errors, such as transposed letters.
The AutoCheck option can be selected under the Spelling submenu on the Tools menu. This provides red underlining as a warning for any word that can't be found in the spelling dictionary.
The Spelling window, with its replacement and ignore options and the thesaurus, is available to check the text of your presentations.
