Compatibility between Mac and PC embedded fonts

If you embed a MAc font into a ppt, will you be able to see it on a PC?

RE: Compatibility between Mac and PC embedded fonts

Hi Laurence

Thank you for your question and welcome to the forum.

According to the following article, fonts can't be embedded into Mac PowerPoint presentations; and Macs can't ready embedded fonts:

I haven't tested this personally - if you know or have heard differently to what the article is suggesting please let me know.

PowerPoint tip:

Slide numbers in PowerPoint

Slide numbers can be applied in PowerPoint by going to View-Header and footer, then ticking the slide number box.

You can also choose the Don't show on title slide option so that slide numbers do not show on any title layout slides in the presentation.

If this option is ticked and the first slide is a title layout slide, this will mean slide 2 will be numbered as 2 rather than 1.

To change this and start slide numbering at 1 on the second slide, go to File - Page Setup and change the Number slide from: option to 0. Click OK.
