I was using Microsoft Office Professional 2000 and since have had to go to
the 2003 version. I am note able to change a Powerpoint Presentation on the
2003 version. I receive a message which states this is a read only embeded
fonts. I never had a problem making any changes to the presentation on the
2000 version. Is there any way I can remove this message and be able to make
the changes I wish to my presentation?

John's correct. To lighten the reading load, here's the likely key bit:

If you are using PPT 2003, choose Help, Check for Updates and apply any
suggested service packs and updates.

Once Service Pack 2 (SP2) or later is installed, PowerPoint will ask if you
want to replace the embedded but unavailable font. Let it do the replacement
and you'll be able to save and edit the presentation.
