Problems with files moved from one computer to another

[Sean]

I have been designing powerpoints for work and when I'm finished they look
fine. All images are spread out evenly and the text boxes are seperated and
everything looks fine, but when they are opened in another computer the text
boxes overlap and there will be words on top of words. Why does this happen?
As I said, when I finish and look over every page, everything looks fine so
why does this happen when they're opened in another computer and what can I
do to prevent/stop this?

Thanx

*The other computers have the same version of powerpoint.

Are you using some non-standard fonts that are not available on the other
machine?

And does the other computer have a printer installed? Sounds funny but
PowerPoint can act funny when there's no printer installed. Make sure it's a
color printer.

Do the other computers have the fonts you are using. Check out this PPT
FAQ entry for one possible solution:

Which version of PPT, even if it's the same version.

Are the fonts you used installed on all the computers?

 

[Sean]

I looked and even made a copy of the font and loaded it into the seperate
machine, but that didn't change anything. I think that it already had it
before, too.

Did you try Replace font as described in the FAQ article? Did you try
installing a printer as other responses suggested?

Now, about the other suggestion -- do you have a printer driver installed?
