Hello,
I have a PP presentation. It makes in german PowerPoint 2000 version.
If I try open this presentation in polish PowerPoint, in as version as 2000,
2003 I have different arrangement on text field.
Example: sign 'TAB' has about 3 times larger size and everthing is on
different positions than on original presentation. Text is spaced-out.
Effect: text field is larger than slide and information is unclear.
How I can recover this problem?
Please help me,
Peter.

1)

Choose Format, Replace Fonts.
In the first list box (upper one) look for fonts with a ? next to them.
Those are fonts that the presentation needs but that aren't on the system.
Either install the fonts (if possible) or choose a replacement from the lower
list.

2)

Choose Tools, AutoCorrect Options and turn off the auto-formatting options in
"AutoCorrect As You Type" (remove the checks next to the last three checkboxes)

See if that helps.

Thank you for your answer.
Solution of this problem is very strange.
There are numbers in currency format on spaced-out, text field.
Example: "Text 1.200 PLN."
If I change Control Panel -> Regional Settings -> Language Property ->
Symbol of group digits from (default in Polish Windows XP) space " " to
full-stop "." and I open presentation once again everything is OK, why?
Why Symbol of group digits is important for PP text field?
I don't know.
Now, 'TAB's size is normal, text field is such as in original presentation.

Regards,
Peter.

Nice detective work. I have a guess about the rest ...

If there's a decimal tab stop set on the text box and a tab character in the
text, it might not be able to tell the differnce between word spaces and
"decimal separator" spaces instead of "."s.

Try removing the decimal tab stop to see if that changes things. If you're not
familiar with PPT's tab stops, ask; we'll be happy to explain.
