From: AV Guy on 3 Sep 2009 08:20 I have a recurring problem when opening presentations in 2007 that were created in 2003. Whereas the 03 created file has an arial font, when opened in 07 in changes to imago. Any thoughts?
From: Lucy Thomson on 3 Sep 2009 19:17 Hi AV Guy That's a new one on me as surely arial is on every computer in the world... However, let's see if we can get to the bottom of it; - was the presentation created on the same computer? - has the presentation ever been edited on/viewed on/in the same room as a Mac? - when you open in 2003 and go to format -> replace font are there any fonts with a ? next to them? - when you open in 2007 and go to Home -> replace drop down -> replace font are there any fonts with a ? next to them? - is arial an available font in the font drop down in 2007? I'm working on a presso at the moment that uses 'Times' that confuses my computer but I'm sure it's supposed to be 'Times New Roman' - I reckon it's a Mac thing but can't be sure.

Times (as opposed to Times New Roman) is a PostScript font and also is a resident font in pretty much every PostScript printer ever sold. Might be a MacThing, might MacNot. ============================== PPT Frequently Asked Questions http://www.pptfaq.com/ PPTools add-ins for PowerPoint http://www.pptools.com/ Don't Miss the PPTLive User Conference!

Interesting ... I do not have ??? on either machine and both computers have arial and imago. However, the template was provided by a corporate client and very well may have been created orginally on a mac. Why would this make a difference?
