Hi Gido,

According to your description, my understanding of this issue is: your
PowerPoint presentation's layout changes on your friend's computer.

If I have misunderstood your concern, please feel free to let me know.

Based on my research, there are several reasons that can cause the issue.
For example, fonts, version of Office or embedded objects.

Thanks for Bob's suggestions.

To workaround this issue, I recommend you use the Package For CD feature in
PowerPoint. To Package For CD, please do as follows:

1. Open the PowerPoint 2003 presentation that you want to move.
2. Click File, and then click Package for CD.

Note: This will package the presentation for either a folder or a CD.
3. In the Name the CD box, type the name for your folder or your CD.
4. You can include more than one PowerPoint 2003 presentation. If you want
to include more files click the Add Files button, and then select the
additional files that you want to add.

Note By default, PowerPoint Viewer 2003 will play all files automatically
in the order that is specified. You can specify the order that you want
when you include additional files.

5. Optionally, click Options to change the following settings:
Include the PowerPoint Viewer.
Include linked files.
Embed TrueType fonts.
Use a password to help to protect the PowerPoint presentation.

6. Click either the Copy to Folder button or the Copy to CD button.
7. If you click the Copy to CD button, the file will be copied to the CD.

If you click the Copy to Folder button, PowerPoint 2003 copies the files
with a name and a location that you specify.
If you click the Copy to Folder button in step 5, you can now use a
third-party CD-burning program to copy the files to a CD.

Note: The PowerPoint Viewer 2003 package will play on computers that are
running Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition or later. You do not have to
have PowerPoint 2003 to play these files.

For more detailed information, please refer to the following Microsoft

convenience. We look forward to your reply.
