Is your Powerpoint (2004) Not Responding?

varis suggested the solution that worked for others.  ”I removed the
file:
PowerPoint 11 Type Library
from folder:
/Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/Office/Type Libraries

I started Powerpoint 2004, an error message about some fonts appeared (fonts I do not need).
I checked the box (means: do not remind me again)

Since then Powerpoint 2004 works fine.”
