How do i convert PC powerpoint presentation to play on MAC?

[Guest]

we have created a presentaion in PC powerpoint and we need to convert it to a
presentation that we can send to you numerous people - some of which will
play it on a MAC. How do we embed the fonts so that, no matter what machine
it is played on, it will play and look correct? Please send any answers to
(e-mail address removed)

thanks

You can't embed fonts for presentations going to the Mac. Also, if you are
embedding fonts, you need to make sure that everyone getting the
presentation has all the fonts. Otherwise, they may have problems opening it
in PPT 2003. See these entries from Steve Rindsberg's PPT FAQ for more
information:
PowerPoint opens presentations as Read Only, won't allow editing when fonts
embedded

(And, sorry - but, no I won't email you. Threads on the newsgroup help the
most people. Chances are that if you have this question, others do too. In
fact, that's why it is addressed in the two FAQ entries. )

This may be naive, but couldn't you convert it to a web page that would be
Mac compatible? Hope so, since I'm planning to do this.

That still wouldn't solve the font problem, would it?
