Ever since a user imported a template from germany he gets the error message (Unable to find spelling file for german(germany) when performing a spell check. I have checked that english (US) is the default language but it still prompts. Any way of removing this message without finding a german dictionary?

I don't have '97 handy, but try opening the template and going to Tools>Language and selecting English.
You may have to select all the text and make sure that the language is set for English.
To test this, type a word, select it and chnge the language to something else and run the Spell checker. It will ask for the other dictionary.

I searched the template, the master slide and the files based on the template. All of it is defaulted to English (United States). Still prompting for spelling file for German(Germany).
