Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit/Powerpoint Office 16
Hello all,
I am creating a presentation that should be edited by others, therefore I am embedding the fonts I am using. I started from a third-party template I found online. When I go to save the files, it tells me that font "Titillium" cannot be embedded. I do not use Titillium in the slides - I imagine it was what the template owner used. I have done the following to try to remove or replace the font:
Manually check all slides
Use "Replace fonts" automation
Check and change all Master slides
Check and change all Notes
Check and change Notes master and Handouts master
At this point I decided to try to edit the XML files. I found the slides where Titillium is present when searching the XML files. I replaced them all with Arial and saved the files, but when I opened them again, they reverted back to Titillium. It should be noted I made these changes without extracting the XML files from the archive. When I then tried to extract the files, I made the changes, converted into an archive, and changed the file extension to *pptx. Powerpoint could then not open the file, it was corrupted.
To troubleshoot, I simply extracted the archive and remade the archive without making any changes, and Powerpoint still could not open the file.
At this point I would need the following the solutions:
Replacing the hidden fonts within Powerpoint
Instructions on how to convert an XML package back into a *.pptx successfully
Some other solution that allows me to save the file with embedded fonts without getting this alert (I am afraid the alert would confuse people who need to edit the file).
Thank you very much for any help.

Re 2) Install 7-Zip (). It's a free, open-source program that, among other useful features, can directly open PPTX/PPSX/etcx files w/o having to rename them. You can tell it what program you want to use as your editor and open the files within the PPTX for editing. It's smart enough to do that then update the PPTX with the edited files automatically.
