MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / November 2007symbol changes fonts
Hi, I've had a lot of trouble with the font changing when i insert the symbol E into powerpoints. I'm using ppt 2003, and the optima, urwclassicoT, and urwclassicoK fonts. When I insert the E it is in the right font, but if I save and close the ppt, sometimes the E changes to a different font when I reopen the file, even on the same computer. Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong? Thanks for your help! I tried to enter the symbol capital letter E with macron (code 0112) in the previous message but it didn't work... > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Thanks for your help! I have had somewhat similar issues with Meta fonts; the best work-around I have found is to use 'Replace Fonts' to replace each font with something quite different. Then save it. Then use Replace Fonts again to put back the original fonts. Then save it again. The the trouble seems to vanish - but why, I have no idea! I hope it works for you.

I'm using ppt 2003, and the optima, urwclassicoT, and > urwclassicoK fonts. When I insert the E it is in the right font, How, exactly, are you inserting the character? I don't have the URW fonts, but do have Optima (assuming you mean Adobe's Optima). My copy doesn't have E with macron. Depending on how you've inserted the character, you may've inadvertently chosen a different font. > but if I > save and close the ppt, sometimes the E changes to a different font when I [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Thanks for your help! ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ Thank you for your suggestion. I assume I am using a different font, but it looks perfect when I insert it and then changes later if I reopen the ppt. But your response made me wonder if maybe there is a difference when I use Alt+I+S and just copy and paste a previously inserted symbol. I will test it out! >> Hi, >> [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > PPTools: www.pptools.com > ================================================ > Thank you for your suggestion.

There may be; especially if you choose one of the symbols from the bottom couple rows of the Insert Symbol dialog (the recently used ones that are so convenient). That sometimes shows characters that aren't actually in the font you've chosen above in the dialog, so what you get is anybody's guess. > I will test it out! > [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > > PPTools: www.pptools.com > > ================================================ ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================
