Can this Font be Embedded in PowerPoint?

Yes, you can embed some fonts in PowerPoint presentations, and the catch-word in the preceding word is "some." Yes, only a few fonts allow embedding
within PowerPoint presentations, and even those have limitations. These limitations are due to the license associated with the font. This article will
understand what these licenses are, and which limitations get imposed.

Use Safe Fonts Available on All Systems
in PowerPoint
Did you use your favorite fonts in PowerPoint, and then discovered that when you moved the presentation to another computer, the fonts were
substituted with another font? Worse, even this change is not predictable. You may find that the font change behavior is not consistent, and the
same font may be substituted completely differently on a third computer!

Alternatives to Safe Fonts in PowerPoint
We learned about using safe fonts in PowerPoint, especially if you want to share your slides with others who may not have the required fonts. In
simple terms, this means using fonts such as Calibri, Arial, or Times New Roman in your slides so that almost anyone can see the slides identically
-- as you see them! Sometimes, this may not be a bad idea, but you do have to narrow down your choices to the bare basics. Fortunately, there are
some alternatives to safe fonts too -- and some of these may work for you. The best part is that you may be able to show your slides with the fonts
that you like!

Hide/Unhide Slides

Do you have a secret slide with useful information that you would rather not delete? But what if you show this slide to your audience inadvertently?
How do you cope with this problem? The solution is easy: you just hide the slide. Hidden slides don’t show up in Slide Show view, but they are still
available to edit and to possibly unhide when you are ready to show that slide to the world.

Create PowerPoint Handouts in Word

You may create the best presentation in the world, but what happens after the presentation has been delivered? Don't you want to provide the
information you presented in a document that you can distribute to attendees, or even send them a recap via email? Handouts are meant for such
occasions, and PowerPoint lets you create some amazing handouts from your slides, that can also contain extra notes that were not visible on the
slides. In this tutorial, we will explore an amazing option that creates handouts for PowerPoint presentations in Microsoft Word.
General Program Options

The General tab of the PowerPoint Options dialog box contains basic, yet some very important options related to the appearance and working of the
PowerPoint interface. Changes to these options can result in a very different and more efficient workflow. The PowerPoint Options dialog box can be
accessed in multiple ways, as explained in our Backstage View - Program Options in PowerPoint 2010 for Windows tutorial. In this tutorial, we will
explore the various options within the General tab of the PowerPoint Options dialog box. Follow these steps to understand better.
