Default Embed Fonts in Powerpoint 2007

I had previously made presentations in PP 2003 and embedded fonts to be sure
that things would look right on someone else's computer.
I have recently spent a lot of time trying this in PP 2007 and cannot find
out how to do it. "Help" is helpless!

Please don't tell me that the only way is to take and use my own computer
which is what I had to do yesterday.

Can someone give me a clue please?

Paul

Default Embed Fonts in Powerpoint 2007

Further to this one -

We seem to have found answers to some of this problem.
As we were away from home and not near an internet connection we were not
online yesterday so "Help" installed with Office 2007 was rather limited and
would not answer the question - that alone is cause for a gripe.
Once at home and online there was an answer.
It seems that the font in question was embedded as I just checked by
deleting it from another computer and opening the file.

The other computer was a Mac - the file was prepared on a PC laptop -
Toshiba - Vista - Office 2007.

So is it likely that the embedded font was something the Mac didn't like? It
was French Script MT (.TTF) ?
Does this mean that embedding fonts will not always do what I expect ?

Embedded fonts only work on a PC.
