Mavericks - Powerpoint Problem

I have the same problem, even with OpenOffice I can't read anything. I've update to 14.3.8 and the words do not appears

I've resolved de problem!!!!

The point is: there are some freak incompatibility in font book, with Arial font.

Follow my steps:

1) Upgrade the microsoft office to 14.3.8 version

2) In spotlight ask for font book

3) find (in all fonts) Arial font, right click and "Remove Arial Family". Don't worry, just do not restart your computer

4) Take a new Arial font pack (here) or go to your trash an move to the desktop the font that you just removed (I know it can be a little weird, but, indeed, you just have to reinstall your font).

5) re install your font (double click)

6) In font book, select all fonts. Drag and drop the Arial family to Windows Office Compatible.

It works perfectly!

It didn´t work for me. Crashes in Word, PowerPoint and Excel. O dear!

olimpiogarcia's solution worked for me, after I restarted. Thanks!

Hi

I also have this problem with powerpoint when going into presentation mode. I have upgraded to the latest version of Office and have tried the font trick, but have had no luck. I live in Singapore and there are no apple shops. Any other suggestions?

Thanks

I've downloaded update 14.4.1 for office 2011 but powerpoint will still not work. When I try to open it I get this:

Any ideas on how to fix it would be much appreciated.

Thanks a lot, olimpiogarcia. I had problems with both Arial and Times New Roman after upgrading to Mavericks. Your suggestion and procedure to re-install them worked like a charm. I had to quit out of all open Word applications and restart them for the re-installed fonts to take effect.
