Presentation created in PP 2004 for Mac not translating to PC

[saderk]

I have a client who needs a presentation template. They asked me to set up an
actual presentation and then they want to be able to go in and and edit as
needed. I designed the presentation with PP 2004 on a Mac and they are
working on a PC. I'm not sure what version PP they are using. We are having
the following difficulties: 1) Some characters do not show up on their end,
such as quotation marks and apostrophes. 2) The background that I created for
them with their corporate colors and logos looks clean on my screen but is
rough on their end. 3) Drop shadows make the type look blurred and are too
opaque.

I have used basic fonts that most everyone has, so I don't think it's a font
issue.

Is there a way to create a presentation that can be viewed correctly and
edited whether the client is on a Mac or a PC and might be using older
versions of PP?

Any help would be really appreciated!!

Also, my client is getting the message, "Presentation might contain Far East
Text and formats that PowerPoint can't display" when she opens the document.
Anyone know what this is about?

Did you see the reply from Kathy to your other post about drop shadows and using
the compatibility checker on the Mac? That's where you should start. Then see:
