Problem: Word and PowerPoint "reinterpret" fonts/formatting on others' docs

Hi there, I've been having a problem for a while, and I'm not sure what to do about it. It seems that, on my machine, PowerPoint -- and Word -- tend to reinterpret docs that others have created. If a colleague sends me a resume that they created in Word, often words spill over from one line to the next. In PowerPoint, titles entend slightly beyond the page boundaries. In PowerPoint, if somebody sends me a PPT in which, on a particular slide, they've drawn a box, onto which they've overlayed a text box (so as to make the text appear to live in that drawn box) -- the text tends to extend beyond the borders of that drawn box. Occasionaly titles have a simalar problem, where they extend beyond the top border of the slide. Can anybody suggest why I'm having this problem w/PowerPoint -- and, indeed, perhaps across my Office apps? I'm running Office 2003, using XP Pro SP2. I've not anything crazy w/my fonts -- I don't think I've ever touched them on this machine. Using a new ThinkPad T43. Thanks for your help! -CS |
