Re: Embedded Fonts and Files

Do this on a copy of the presentation...

Select the textbox (not the text within the text box)
Right click and select 'Save as Picture'
Save as a PNG or emf (JPGs, while smaller, will degrade through
anti-aliasing unacceptably)
Delete the text box
Insert the picture you just saved
Place the picture where the textbox was
Restore the animations to the picture (note text animations will no longer
work)

This is not perfect, but the picture will always show the correct font and
always be openable.

Oh, the only possible exception is if you use a weird graphic type that the
destination computer does not have.
