I am a English to French translator who just installed the 2016 Microsoft Suite.
Word 2016 is working great, but in PowerPoint 2016, there is a problem with the Proofing Language. The system is correcting as I am typing French words back into English. This happens for words that are very similar in French and English, like:
Fonction = Function
Paramètre = Parameter
marquée = marquee
risque = risqué
and so on.
Here is what I have done so far:
In Options > Proofing > AutoCorrect Options, I have unchecked the Replace text as you type box
In Options > Languages, I have set French (Canada) as my default Editing Language
In Options > Advanced, I have unchecked the Automatically switch keyboard to match language of surrounding text box
Under the Review tab, under Language, I have set the Proofing Language to French (Canada) as default, and unchecked the Do not check spelling box (maybe that box should be checked?). Unfortunately, this setting doesn't always stay. Sometimes, when I return
after changing the settings, they are back to original English settings.
What else should I do? There is something I am missing, obviously.
The changes are so minor, that I have to go through the whole presentations with a fine tooth comb to make sure I catched all the accent aigus that were removed, or the letters that were switched when I was typing.
Thank you for your reply.
Any suggestion is welcome.
