I've just completed my first presentation built in PowerPoint from the Microsoft Office X package I purchased in May of 2002. The PPS plays great on my Mac, but when I play it as a PPS on a PC, all of my animations are messed up. When played correctly, the images appear & then dissapear on a click & then the next one automatically fades in. (I have as many as 10 of these transitions on one slide.) On the PC, everything is there but the images don't disappear, they just keep flying in, stacking up on top of each other, without clicking. The sound file plays fine throughout. I'm assuming it's a version problem with PowerPoint, because the PC was running an older version. So I started to rebuild the whole thing in Powerpoint from Office 98 for Mac, but then I couldn't insert the mpeg sound file. I hate to go to a lot more work & find out other problems...a thread i found a similiar discussion from Nifty Nic back on December 1 '03, but appears the issue was never resolved... I intend to distribute this presentaion on CD to multiple users & platforms. Will I run across memory issues because i have so many images & animations? (I didn't like how my text when typed in PowerPoint, so i set it in Illustrator & then saved as jpeg chunks in photoshop in RGB 100dpi.) File size is about 12.5 MGS. I mention this because when I tried to play the show on my old version in office '98 in Mac OS9, it kept quitting til i added more Ram. What a pain this is... I used PowerPoint because i thought it would be more universal. Anybody out there have suggestions? thanks in advance.
