I received follwing error message: Presentation cannot be edited because it contains a read-only embedded font. I created this in PP2000 and am trying to open in PP2003. How can I open this file for editing?

Ouch... Microsoft created a number of problems with 2003 and font embedding.
Unfortunately there is nothing you can do in PPT 2003 to remedy the problem
other than install the needed fonts on the computer. The solution is to open
the presentation in PPT XP (or below) and uncheck the embed fonts option.
Here is more details: http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/FAQ00076.htm

Hello,
This occurs if a presentation contains an embedded font that is licensed
for Print & Preview only. Due to stricter adherence to font licensing
restrictions in PowerPoint 2003 presentations with this kind of embedded
font cannot be edited in PowerPoint 2003 (even though they could be edited
in previous versions of PowerPoint).
Here's a link to a KB article that describes a resolution which involves
opening the presentation in an earlier version of PowerPoint and removing
the Print & Preview only embedded fonts and replacing them with fonts whose
embedding license allows for editing.

The only other workaround is to have the missing font installed (assuming
you have the appropriate license, of course) on your system so that the
embedded font is not required.
If you (or anyone else reading this message) have suggestions for how
PowerPoint should handle the legal restrictions with license restricted
embedded fonts, don't forget to send your feedback to Microsoft at:

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also WHY it is important to you that your product suggestion
be implemented by Microsoft. Microsoft receives thousands of product
suggestions every day and we read each one but, in any given product
development cycle, there are only sufficient resources to address the ones
that are most important to our customers so take the extra time to state
your case as clearly and completely as possible.
IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions).
