how to get rid of "auto underline" in PPT?

[97tbird]

does anyone know how to take off all those underlines in a power point presentation (or at least on the current slide)?

There must be a better way than right clicking on every single underlined word and selecting "ignore all".

Most of the scientific words are auto-underlined, and I just wanna get rid of all that underlining..

thanks.

Are they just underlined or are they also links that take you to Internet to look up the word?

The same type of zig zag red underlining that MS word has, when you misspell a word. they're not hyperlinks or anything.
like i said, if i right click on such a word, and select "ignore", the red zigzag underlining goes away.

Micro$oft Smart Tags?

You can turn that obtrusive behavior off under TOOLS|AUTOCORRECT OPTIONS|SMART TAGS

don't see anything relevant checked there...nothing about spelling.

found it (with help):

tools > options > spelling and styles > UNcheck the "check spelling as you type" box.

So that's where it is. I have been wanting to enable it on my laptop.
