HELP - FONTS funky with Presentation (due tomorrow am) gulp

March 18th, 2010
  • Freaking Out..I have this PowerPoint presentation due tomorrow for a customer.
    I worked on it all day yesterday, last night, today and sent draft to customer. The text (font GilsansMT) is overlapping the text boxes on her end but looks perfect on my end!!! I have them in a box with a rule/line around it and the text is just overlapping it (again on her end). SOOO - I just did a test with my dad and sent him the presentation (with Gilsans font) AND then did a test slide of Arial. For him - neither had overlapping text!!! Any ideas? I'm working
    in PowerPoint 2000 - not sure which version the client is using but I was going to reformat this entire thing and send to her tomorrow. I planned on changing all fonts to Arial but since the test with my dad - I have NO idea what to do now. Feel free to email me at dornella@bellsouth.net Thank you so much. ~Cindi


  • Jacobskl - thank you so very much for replying. I ended up just sending the 'arial' presentation to my client (just one slide) for her to tell me if there's overlap. She said no, so I just did a reply and changed all fonts to arial and did some minor tweaking. She's not very computer-oriented and knew it might be challenging to have her 'see if that font was on her system'. Net net - I don't think it is (or her client's system either). She's offline now but just sent her the final presentation and hopefully will get her blessing in the morning. Thank you again for replying and for your suggestions (saving them for future 'issues'). Greatly appreciate it. Have a great night - starting to storm here so logging off.

  • It sounds like one of two things are going on:
    1) Your client has gone in to edit the file with the autoformat options turned on. To turn them off, go to Tools-> AutoCorrect Options and turn off the autofit options on the AutoFormat as You Type tab.
    2) Your client does not have that font installed. To check this, go to Format->Replace Fonts and look to see if there are question marks in front of the font name. In this case, you will either need to imbed the font or choose another font.

    I will be on the system tonight and tomorrow, so post back back and let me know if neither of these fixes the problems.
