Mac Forum / Applications / PowerPoint / September 2006Compatibility Tips? Mac & PC
My boss is on a Mac and I have to use a PC at work. Everytime we share PP presentations, things become messed up. I have to re-format and re position so many things. It takes a big part out of my day time. Can someone please give some tips? Is there a program I can buy or download that will make this more seamless? Thanks! bonzaii things moving about is probably due to 'different fonts' being used perhaps? See PC to Mac and Back http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00281.htm and also Do this before using PowerPoint seriously http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00034.htm Cheers TAJ Simmons microsoft powerpoint mvp awesome - powerpoint backgrounds, http://www.awesomebackgrounds.com free powerpoint templates, tutorials, hints, tips and more... > My boss is on a Mac and I have to use a PC at work.

Hi, The compatibility checker in the Mac version of PowerPoint may be of use in helping to identify problems to investigate. It also can automatically fix certain kinds of incompatibilities.

I have not read the links provided earlier, but I can offer this: develop good master slides, and stick to them -- if you find you are doing a lot of manual font and size changes, you may be doing something wrong. Then, when you change platforms, a few minor changes to the masters will be reflected in the slides. For objects with text inside them (boxes, circles), include the text as a part of the object, not as a separate text box drawn on top. |
