Post subject: Exactly same PPT version, similar platform - but different layout! Archived from groups: microsoft>public>mac>office>powerpoint (more info?)
|
|
|
Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel
I have a strange problem.
I have a PPT file that I view on two very similar platforms, yet the layout is different!
I create a PPT presentation on one computer, then transfer it over to the other one.
On both computers I use exactly the same version of PPT, it's PPT 2008 version 12.1.4, latest update.
Both computers are almost identical: both are macbooks, both run OSX 10.5.5, with the latest software updates.
The only difference I can see is that one of them has 1280x800 screen resolution, the other has 1600x1200 .
Surely, the layout should not change just because the resolution changes, right?
Here are screenshots of the same slide, one from each platform:
<a href="http://zach.in.tu-clausthal.de/tmp/ppt1.png <http://zach.in.tu-clausthal.de/tmp/ppt1.png>">screenshot 1</a> , <a href="http://zach.in.tu-clausthal.de/tmp/ppt2.png <http://zach.in.tu-clausthal.de/tmp/ppt2.png>">screenshot 2</a> .
Obviously, they look quite different!
Does anyone have any idea what's going on?
Or what I can do about it??
Thanks a lot in advance.
I will appriate all kinds of insights, pointers, suggestions, etc.
Regards,
Gabriel. |

Indeed. And thanks for posting the screenshots; Picture=1 Kiloword. <g>
Verify that the font used in the text is installed on both computers (same font type,
version etc.) They certainly appear to be the same but with the difference in
resolution in the screenshots, it's hard to be certain.
Next, what about default printer drivers .. same on both systems or not? |

Thank you very much! It was the fonts!
I should've thought of that myself ... but they really looked so much the same ...
But PPT never complained! It should have given me at least a little warning! grrr at microsoft ... (will they ever get things right?)
Anyway, thanks so much again!
And thanks a lot for the quick response!
Best regards,
Gabriel. |

Definitely, but I don't think we have that in the Mac version. |

They certainly did. Honestly, I was grabbing at straws with that one, after having
looked at the two screenshots very closely.

It sure would be nice if there were a warning. In the Windows version, the Replace
Fonts dialog box displays icons to let you know whether each font is embedded,
installed or missing. That can be very helpful too. |

Definitely not. On the help menu, there's a contact us option ... it might be a good
idea to fire that puppy up and ask for this feature. |

Maybe.
But the point is that you do not look there, unless you suspect something, which you normally don't.

You might consider running the Compatibility Report... It doesn't list the
subbed fonts by name, but it does;
1- indicate if substitution has occurred,
2- selects a placeholder containing the substitution, &
3- that font will be selected when you go to Replace Font.
