Stray fonts
I have a ppt (2003 on Windows) that started life as a "More" document (yes
it is quite old) and despite years of editing and reapplying masters, editing masters etc.., when I print the file to PDF (using Acrobat Distiller) I'm told that the document contains fonts like "Times-Roman" or "Helvitica-BoldOblique" which we haven't used since our Mac days (with More). (and Distiller cannot embedd these fonts because we don't have them) (Retyping the presention is not an option 250 slide) Is there a way to find these instances of strange fonts and delete/replace them in the ppt? Thanks, Mark |

Sorry, forgot to mention that I did try that and no they don't show up at
all??? Question - does PP pick up all the fonts - including those in slide notes or embedded in graphics (not JPG or other bit map types of course). Mark Have you tried Format Replace Fonts?

Question - does PP pick up all the fonts - including those in slide notes or
embedded in graphics (not JPG or other bit map types of course). notes - yes embedded objects - yes pasted spreadsheets - yes pasted graphs - yes pictures - no bitmaps /jpgs - no Try ungrouping the likely problem objects, then you can change the font. Remember to check all the "master" pages for your rodent font.

Thanks, I started the hunt on the masters and that is the source of the
problem - my POT file is guilty.

just to add a small comment, you might change all your fonts but forget
the default font for the master (click on the background and see what shows up), each master has its own.
