PPT 2008 (windows) and PPT 2009 (Mac) compatibility re: path anima

[jammer]

Greetings,

I'm customizing a preso in PPT 2007 (windows) using a jpeg image that
moves along a custom path. Nothing extravagant just a move upward to
the left and down.

Another slide I've got images behind a large image where each image (4
images) travel on your basic up path (no custom).

When the person running PPT 2008 (Mac) runs the animation nothing
happens - no animation at all.

Can anyone shed some light on this - can't find any data about a
problem.

thanks

The reason is, that PowerPoint for Mac (2008) has no motion paths. You
cannot insert motion paths on Mac versions - and you cannot display them.

Here's an excellent comparison between PC and Mac versions:
