One of our Directors has created a few Powerpoint Presentations for an
important meeting she has coming up this Thursday. She created them on her
G4 Powerbook (1.67GHZ, 2 GIGS RAM, 10.4.2) but now suddenly she's having
issues.

The files are somewhat large at 165-170 MB each but when I open them on any
of our G4 towers....ie. G4 -1.2GHZ, 1GIG RAM, 10.3.9 they pop right up and
you can begin a slideshow. I tried opening it on my own G4 with Tiger and
had no issue either.

When I try to open the same files on her Powerbook (the same PB she created
them on)we get the pinwheel of death indefinitely and the files won't open
completely...just hangs.

She's reported no other issues with her PB and I've reinstalled Office
several times as well as deleted her Suitcase preferences (in case it might
be a font issue) but I can't even make a dent in the problem.

We're desparate to make this work on her laptop. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance for any help.
 
I see you've also posted this in Public.Mac.Office.PowerPoint

That's the best place to follow it up; this side 'o the house is mostly Windows
users.
