Graphics Shift between PowerPoint Versions

[Guest]

I use PowerPoint 2003 and my coworker uses PowerPoint 2000. When she creates
a show in PPT 2000 and I open it in PPT 2003 the graphics shift.

When I open the show in PPT 2000, but save as a web file the graphics shift
then too.

Any ideas why?

Please define "shift." What exactly is happening?

Shift = move. They relocate from one position to another. The graphic
positioning is different in PPT 2000 then when opened in PPT 2003.

Make sure your regional settings are the same (ie, that you're both set to use
the same measurement units). This is part of Control Panel, not PPT itself.

Also, check the various AutoFormat options (Tools, AutoFormat in PPT 2003,
Tools, Options, Edit in 2000). The ones that autofit things to placeholders
are designed to drive you barking mad by doing just this sort of thing.

The meaning of the word is not the problem; we're not able to look over your
shoulder to see exactly what moves, how much, in what direction and from where.
If you can't describe it, we can't "see" it. What we can't see, we can't help
fix.

Exactly.

Thank you, Steve.

Out of curiosity, are the monitors the same on both machines?
