SYMPTOMS

If a PowerPoint presentation or Word document that contains embedded TrueType fonts is added as a section of a Microsoft Office Binder, the embedded font information will be lost. When the section is opened in the binder, a font substitution is made and a different typeface is displayed.

CAUSE

Each section of a Microsoft Office Binder is an OLE object. OLE does not support embedding fonts in an OLE object.

RESOLUTION

If you need to embed TrueType fonts in a PowerPoint or Word section of a binder, use the following steps to save those sections out as separate files:

Activate the binder.
Activate the appropriate section.
On the Section menu, click Save As File.
In the Save As dialog box, name the file and click Save.
