[ppt 2003] Numbers shows as gibrish

[Lp12]

Hi All,
I have a presentation that each time there is a number (example 2008) it
shows up as arrows and other symbols? It shows up iin several PC's.
Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot in advance

One add-in, when I activate the caps Lock, the numbers shown fine, otherwise,
gibrish.
Thanks

Do numbers turn into gibberish when you type them or does text that's already in
the presentation appear as gibberish when you open the presentation?

I'd first check for missing fonts.

Choose Format, Replace Fonts

In the resulting dialog box, look at the fonts in the UPPER of the two list
boxes. Does any of them have a "?" icon next to its name, or for that matter,
anything other than the usual TT icon?
