Can't edit in PPT2003_embedded font

Just installed Windows XP and got upgraded to PPT 2003
when I open a prior PPT presentation, it says this
presentation cannot be edited because it contains an
embedded font.
If I go to another computer with Win2000 and Office XP or
Office 2003, no problem editing.

How can I edit in my new computer??

This is the most irritating issue, isn't it? Basically, you have to open the file in a previous version of PPT and save it without the embedded font.

You're blessed. You have another computer where you can open this thing.

Open it there, choose Format, Replace Fonts and replace the embedded font with
a different font, one that you have on your new computer. Save the
presentation and you're good to go.

OR

If you have the legal right to do so, install a copy of the needed embedded
font on your new computer.
