... Good luck! BTW, I am on PowerPoint 2002 and the problem started when they installed SP3! Good Lord I have hundreds of presentations done for my company and we use them in our archives - ALL UNEDITABLE!! Surely someone at Microsoft can fix this?? I hadn't heard that Office XP SP-3 causes this. The only fix is to open the file in a version of PPT which can do so (PPT 97, 2000, and, I though, XP), go to Format/Replace Fonts to replace the offending font, and resave. Or open in a version which can open, then go to File/Save As and remove the font embedding before you save. Please contact Microsoft and tell them why this issue needs to be resolved. Here's how, according to MS's John Langhans: If none of the suggestions provided give you the functionality that you were looking for or, if you (or anyone else reading this message) have suggestions about how transitions and animation effects should interact with each other in PowerPoint (without having to resort to VBA or add-ins), don't forget to send your feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS, please) to Microsoft at: http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state your wish but also WHY it is important to you that your product suggestion be implemented by Microsoft. Microsoft receives thousands of product suggestions every day and we read each one but, in any given product development cycle, there are only sufficient resources to address the ones that are most important to our customers so take the extra time to state your case as clearly and completely as possible. IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of suggestions). If you (or anyone else reading this message) think that it's important that PowerPoint provide this kind of functionality natively (not requiring add-ins or ActiveX controls), don't forget to send your feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS, please) to Microsoft by either: A) If you are using Microsoft's web-based, online newsreader for Office communities (http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...s/default.mspx), click on the "New" drop-down menu and choose "Suggestion for Microsoft" from directly within the newsreader web page. OR, B) If you are using another newsreader (such as Microsoft Outlook Express), submit your suggestion using your web browser at the following address: http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp It's VERY important that, for EACH wish, you describe in detail, WHY it is important TO YOU that your product suggestion be implemented. A good wish submssion includes WHAT scenario, work-flow, or end-result is blocked by not having a specific feature, HOW MUCH time and effort ($$$) is spent working around a specific limitation of the current product, etc. Remember that Microsoft receives THOUSANDS of product suggestions every day and we read each one but, in any given product development cycle, there are ONLY sufficient resources to address the ones that are MOST IMPORTANT to our customers so take the extra time to state your case as CLEARLY and COMPLETELY as possible so that we can FEEL YOUR PAIN. IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of suggestions).
