Powerpoint now used in spellcheck-disabled exams

[ZeldaVet]

Hi all.

 

For years we've relied on a group policy for Word built on this thread, but this year exams have started requiring students to create a Powerpoint with spellchecking disabled.

 

Our current Word policy works fine with Powerpoint except for autocorrect behaviour. "Testingg" has its extra g removed for example.

 

I was wondering if anyone else is having to deal with locking Powerpoint down for exam purposes?

Try installing Office without any language packs.

No language pack = No proofing tools. Spelling, grammar, autocorrect etc.

 

Add:

To your Office setup config xml file.

If none of the available PowerPoint group policy options are doing it, I'd start to have a look at adding deny privileges to any proofing DLL and/or dictionary (.LEX) files for a suitable security group and drop your users into that group as required.
