PC powerpoint 2007 to Mac powerpoint 2004

[tweeza]

Version: 2004
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel

I've created a PPT using Powerpoint 2007 on a PC and want to show it on my Mac which has Powerpoint 2004 installed.
When I open the file, the Headings and picture sizes look too big, even though the font and font size is the same (Calibri, 50).

Is there a way to display exactly the same thing on MAC and PC?
Is this a PC-Mac problem, a 2007-2004 problem, screen resolution problem, or what?

Thanks for your advice!!

Hi,

PowerPoint 2004 did not ship with the Calibri fonts. I think they first
shipped with PowerPoint 2008. My guess is that PowerPoint is
substituting a different font for the missing font.

Check under File > Properties > Contents and see what it says under
Fonts Used.
