I just went to this site that offers a proofreading tool for
PowerPoint. At Proofreadingtools.com, they have this AddIn for sale
called SlideProofer. It automatically checks your presentations for
common grammatical errors as well as misspellings of words, terms,
phrases, proper nouns, etc. It's really easy to use and install. The
best part about it is that it costs only $15! I guess the person
selling these tools used to be a proofreader, so he built this tool
especially for that type of crowd. Let me know if any of you have any
questions about this. I love it!

Do they have a version for web pages? This is a quote from theirs:

"DocProofer and SlideProofer are acutally Microsoft templates and add-ins"

Ooopsie. Might want to let them know.

So what does this thing do that PPT's own spelling and grammar check tools
don't? It's not really clear from the site.

I liked the way it has a UK > US transposer - only in that direction though!
I guess they just imagine we Brits are smart enough to figure it out for
ourselves ;o)
