I can not re-use mine own powerpoint presentation

[yhau_pair]

I put a lot of work in a powerpoint presentation.
Now I do have a different computer (I do not have the old one).
I tryed to open the powerpoint presentation to re-use it (change the
presentation) and I get the message that I can not change the
presentation because I have imbedded lettertype's.

I can also not copy even a part of it to use it it in a new
presentation.

There are hours work in this presentation and I need it urgently.
Who can help me ?

find it at the moment....)

If you are running PPT 2003 and run into this problem, check for the most
recent updates. As of SP2, PPT will now ask you whether you want to replace
the fonts with something standard when an embedded (not available) font
problem is hit.

If you have PowerPoint 2003, choose Help, Check for Updates and let it apply
what it thinks you need. Once you've applied SP2, you'll be able to substitute
a font you have for the embedded one that's causing the problem.

Of course, if you still have the font you used earlier, install it on your new
computer and the problem will go away. To see what fonts the presentation
needs, open it, choose Format, Replace Fonts and look at the list in the UPPER
list box. That tells you what fonts are needed.

A for remembering.
10 points off for not remembering where. ;-)

PowerPoint opens presentations as Read-Only, won't allow editing when fonts
embedded
