opening files on mac and pc -things disappear!

[mosaicgirl]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)

Work environment - I work on a mac. Co-worker works on a pc using powerpoint 2007.

I make changes to a specific file, save it to the server, and then my co-worker opens the same file to make changes.

When he opens the file, charts disappear on the slide, however, if a drag selection box is dragged over the area where it is supposed to be, the box shows up, just nothing inside of it.

He closes the file. I open the exact same file again on the mac. I can see the graphic.

Back to him. He opens it and cannot see it.

What's going on? Is there a setting that one or the other us needs to check in preferences or something?

I'm afraid I don't have a solution or explanation, but I seem to recall an
issue of that nature existing in Office 2007 which was resolved by a fairly
recent update. You might check in the group for PC PPT or in Win Word's
Drawing & Graphics group, both of which you'll find listed here:

Make sure to specify Win Office & OS version information as well as a more
explicit description of what kind of "charts" are involved.

Good Luck |:>)
