Kill Asian Line Breaks

If you receive a presentation from a country e.g. Japan that allows line breaks in the middle of words you may see very strange line breaks!

Strange line breaks

You can solve this by installing Japanese as a language. Restart PPT and you will see a new tab here.

New feature

You can now select the affected text and untick "Allow Latin text to wrap in the middle of a word".

There's a problem though you will need to correct the textboxes one by one which will take a while in a long presentation.

Here's a free solution but it come with no support or guarantee.

Download and run the installer. You should see a new shortcut on the desktop KIllALB2.

COPY the affected PPT to the desktop (always use a copy) and run the new shortcut. Use the very simple dialog to create a COPY of your file with the line breaks fixed.
