Font Problem with ppt viewer

[Mark]

I have a presentation that I packaged on a CD in ppt 2003. It has run perfectly on all the computers that I have tried it on (20). I sent a few copies to a friend, after checking them on my computer (which they ran fine on), and the text was jumbled together. Does anybody know if this is a problem with the software on my end or their end, and how to possibly fix it.

Thanks

Mark

Did you use a font in the presentation that your friend doesn't have installed?

You mentioned in your other post that the file sorted itself out the second time through.

I find that really odd! I've seen some issues with overlapping text that have been fixed by lowering hardware acceleration. (Instrux at http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/FAQ00129.htm )

You might have your friend try this, and if it does work, perhaps include that information in the slipsheet or on the label of your CD.
