won’t flag it as a misspelling, and check the spelling of an entire presentation. You’ll then
use the Thesaurus to replace a word on a slide with a more appropriate one.SET UP You need the CommunityServiceB_start presentation located in your
Chapter14 practice file folder to complete this exercise. Open the Community-
ServiceB_start presentation, and save it as CommunityServiceB. Then follow
the steps.- Display slide 2 , and right-click infermation, which PowerPoint has flagged as a
possible error with a red wavy underline.

spelling, so it displays both a Mini Toolbar and a menu.

- Move to slide 7.
The French words Médecins and Frontières have been flagged as possible errors.- Select Médecins Sans Frontières, and then on the Review tab, in the Language
