Hi there, OUgrad1310, and thanks for joining our Community.

 

Indeed, when you upload files to your Dropbox, Dropbox cannot alter those files in any way.

 

If you download the file from a different web browser, do you see the same behavior?

 

Keep me posted.

    Thank you for the response.  The PowerPoint doc was uploaded via MS Edge.  Unfortunately, I did not download it via another browser and, because it was needing to be shared quickly, I deleted it from DB and did a global replace of the font from APTOS to Times New Roman.  The font didn't change when uploaded with that font.
