Someone broght a presentation to show in church it is the same version of
ppt 2003, but when it showed the fonts didn't fit in right, most were off
the screen?

Would this because the font needed wasn't on the same computer?

A missing font could indeed cause the issue you experienced. In fact, it's
the most likely cause.

If someone takes a ppt from one computer to bring to another. I am assuming,
the one you bring it too substitutes the font?
In this case if the person doesn't know, then
is it possible to find the font they used?
This way you could possibly download from the
internet?
thanks for the thoughts on embedding,

Yes. Open the file, choose Format|Replace Fonts. The missing fonts will have
a question mark in front of the name.
