open now say they have a read-only embedded font. I can't
Save As, Delete certain slides - do anything with the
decks. The authors have no such restrictions on the files
and my secretary can open them and modify without problem.
I have reviewed all of the available critical updates and
other downloads and find nothing that helps.
hi cvpt,
i know this may sound like an obvious question, but do you
have a problem with your fonts on the machine tha tyou are
trying to open the presentation from?
i mean that if your secretary is able to open a
presentation with an embedded font and edit it then he/
she must have that font on her / his computer.
if you are unable to edit the presentation then you are
missing that font.
do you as an organization have a shared font archive?
i.e, do you have all the same fonts on all the machines?
often keeping a common font archive on a server where all
fonts can be downloaded onto indivdual computers is the
best way to ensure that the organzaiton either has the
font or not. this based on the font license of course,
single / multiple license agreements.
at 123powerpoint.com we design and develop custom fonts in
addition to powerpoint templates and backgrounds, images
libraries and background music. and i once was unable to
open apowerpoint presentation that we had ourselves
developed with our own fonts!
when i checked the authoring of the font, i realized that
the designer had chosen not to allow the font to be
embedded, so everyone would have this problem, since this
is not the case here, i dont believe the problem is with
the font itself, but rather its availability.
needless to say our error was immediately correctly, and
the presentation and the font are now doing fine!
well cvpt. i hope this was of some help.
sincerely,
Scott Harvey,
