Problem with § character
We have as issue with the German section character § in our PowerPoint
templates (we are using Office 2003) When it is inserted, the font for that character changes to another font (usually "MS PGothic"). I have tried it with different PowerPoint templates, plus blank PowerPoint templates and the issue still occurs, but not with all fonts. Steps to reproduce: 1: create new blank presentation 2: change font to Times New Roman 3: type some text (in Times new roman) 4: Insert the § character (ALT + 245 on teh numeric keypad) 5: you will see the character is inserted in anotehr font (Arial when I do this test) Does anyone know what this may be caused by? The character definitely exists in the font set. Could it be an issue with the underlying template(s), and if so, what could the issue be? Strangely, in Word (2003) the character is inserted properly, so we think it is either a PowerPoint issue or a template issue. |

Problem with § character
If if try and Replace Fonts I see "?" to teh left of teh font - I suspect it
has not been installed in the template properly? How can we rectify this? (It seems to work ok in some other templates of ours, just not a couple of recent ones - we must have done something...)

Problem with § character
I have tried a workaround to save the presentation as a web page, reviewed
the fonts in the slides etc (Wingdings 3 was in there for some reason), but I cannot find any reference to MS PGothic - then saved it back as a .POT - if I could remove this font entirely from the presentation I think my problems will be resolved, but there seems to be no option to do this, just replace it with another double byte font...
