I have created a macro that changes the correction language of all the elements (text boxes, tables, groups...) in a PPT. I ended up with a code that works perfectly fine in Windows. However, when the macro runs in macOS it gives the error:

Compile error: Method or data member not found

and highlights ".LanguageID" in the line:

Slides(i).Shapes(j).TextFrame.TextRange.LanguageID = iLanguageSelected

The problem is that the LanguageID property was not included in the TextFrame object in PowerPoint after version 16.9.

The workaround is simple, just use TextFrame2 instead of TextFrame:

Slides(i).Shapes(j).TextFrame2.TextRange.LanguageID = iLanguageSelected

TextFrame2 also works with the same result in Windows so you can have one code for both OS.
