Using PPT 2004 for Mac and PPT 2003 for Windows. Files created on PC
open OK on Mac, but those same files moved back to the PC open with
font corruption, with or without editing on the Mac. Any ideas?

Hello Deverj,

Can you please provide the exact version and build numbers of PowerPoint on
both platforms? What do you mean by "font corruption" (e.g. error messages,
text rendered in wrong font, font name for a piece of text has changed,
etc.)? What fonts did you use?

Can you post or email me one of these problem files? If you'd like to email
me, remove the online. portion after the @ sign.

Thanks,
Andrew

Thanks, David. Never realized the two platform version of PowerPoint
were so incompatible.
