It's also a Mac newsgroup where the problem is that the Macs can't handle

"First off, if you use a Mac version of Office, you can skip the rest of

have been embedded by a Windows version of PowerPoint....

It's quite a stretch to say that Macs can't handle fonts as well as
Windows! Apple (inventor of desktop publishing *and* of TrueType fonts,
the basis for Open Type) is not to blame because MS crippled the Mac
versions of their office suite. They had to; if MSOffice for the
superior Mac OS had all the features of the Windows version that would
be the end of Windows in the enterprise.

You can already ditch Microsloth's garbage and just use Mac with
Apple's Keynote instead (or even one of the other office suite
presentation apps). The problem is that some places don't allow you to
use your own equipment for presentations, so you *have* to have a
PowerPoint file.

Although you can save a PowerPoint file from some of these other
presentation packages, there's no guarantee it will look and work the
same ... mind you, there's no guarantee of that even if you do use
Microsloth apps under Windoze either. :-\
