My aged laptop (was Windoes 8 - upgraded to Windows 10) seems to have several versions of Microsoft Office installed over the years (see snip) There is also a folder for Office 15 in another folder. As this laptop is now failing on microphone and speakers intermittently and some keys giving trouble, I got a new one a couple of months ago.
My husband meanwhile took out a household sub to Microsoft office 365, so I installed that on the new one.
Documents and Spreadsheets originated on old laptop are fine on the new one, but Powerpoints are not. With some slides I have used unusual fonts which are not on Office 365 but most have been standard with my older versions.
can I transfer the old fonts to my new machine somehow, so my powerpoints look OK again?.

It does seem possible:

It is possible, I'm still using fonts from a previous computer that ran windows 98SE.

Yes, save down the TTF files for the fonts you require, then you'll be able to install them on the new computer.

Thank you all, it looks easier than I thought, I'll give it a go
