when i try to save my files and embed the truetype fonts, i keep getting the
message "MS PGothic not installed"

i dont know where this font would have come from if i dont have it
installed. so my question is where can i get it to install it or how can i
find whereever it is used in the file and make it go away.

thanks!

This might be a double-byte font, but in case it's not try Format|Replace
Fonts and see if you can replace it with something standard like Arial or
Times New Roman. Or replace it with something distinctive like Jokerman or
Algerian if you want to see what object/text had it applied.

If you can't replace the font, post back with the error message PPT gives
you.

Ah, in that case...

This presentation might contain Far East (or Asian) text and formats that
PowerPoint can't display
