formatting issues between 2003 and 2004

[Guest]

are there inherent formating issues that take place in the slides when you
transfer from a user on a MAC (Powerpoint 2004) and a PC (Powerpoint 2003).
each time we pass a deck back and forth the formatting gets all screwed up on
a few slides.

Not in every case, but there will be problems if the fonts used on one computer
aren't present on the other and there can be slight differences in the way text
of a given size is rendered on the various operating systems.

Some graphics and media formats don't transfer well.
