Hello,
I am trying to find out how to change the language of a power point document
in one go (power pont 2003).
I had the folowing code:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;245468

but it does not apply to the charts of the document.
Can you help me modify this code in order to include everything in the
selection.

thanks

It wouldn't be a simple modification to that code, unfortunately.
Charts aren't really part of Powerpoint ... they're actually "objects" created
by Excel or MSGraph, usually, that "live" in a PPT presentation. PPT displays
them but doesn't actually know how to edit them.

You'd have to write code to activate the charts in their source program (Excel
or MSGraph) and modify them there according the Graph or Excel object model.
