Converting from Mac to PC

[Guest]

Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible to transfer a powerpoint file from a Mac
(iBookG4) to a Microsoft computer while keeping the sounds, movies, and
maintaining the same font and format. I tried sending the presentation via
email, transfering the files with a CD, and transfering the files via USB
key.
Thanks,

Jessica

In addition to Shawn's suggestion, see this link also:

Sounds/Movies don't play, images disappear or links break when I move or email

If you're using QuickTime movies, it's probably time to rethink. They don't
generally work on Windows PPT PCs.
