Text Boxes or Font Resizing

[Guest]

I have created a one page PowerPoint slide (2003) for viewing by our clients.
If I set the Page Setup to On-screen Show and email it to a client with
presumably a different sized screen it resizes the Text Boxes and or font
size and the whole slide becomes out of alignment. If I set it the Page
Setup to A4 it is viewed correctly on all computers.

Apparently we need the On-screen Show format in order for them to easily
insert this slide into their own presentations to prevent it from resizing.
What is my best option here? Is it possible to somehow lock in the
proportionate slides to the slide size?

Thanks again for your all your help.

It may actually be an issue with a missing font. Can you have the client
check Format | Replace Fonts to see if they have any question marks before
any of the font names? If so, they need to install that font.

Hi there. This is definately the answer with some of the Text Boxes
(BakerSignet font) so thank you for that, although some are in Arial from a
pasted picture created in another slide which included Text Boxes. What
would be the best way to stop these from resizing. Is it to do with the
smaller sized fonts below 8pt as I previously read in somebody else's post?

Not sure I'm following the "Arial from a pasted picture created in another
slide which included Text Boxes" thing. Can you clarify? Remember, we can't
see what you're seeing there, so you gotta give us the play-by-play. ;-)
