Saving PowerPoint file as .pdf, other corssplatform issues

M

mudfest

I have an iBook running Mac OS X with Microsoft Office X.
I would like to show a Power Point presentation using a Windows laptop
and projector (which are not compatible with a Mac).

Can I burn a disk of the presentation that will work on the PC?
Can I email the presentation to the PC?
Can I save the Power Point Presentation to a .pdf format and either
burn a disk of it or email it to the PC?

The end result should be that the presentation can run on the PC and
can be shown on the projector.
What other options do I have?
What other compatibility issues are there?

Hope to receive many answers to my many questions, thanks

In general, yes to all of the above, but check the suggestions here first:

If you burn a CD, you'll need to be certain it's in PC format. Macs can
read PC media but PCs don't read Mac format stuff.

If you email, make sure that the file isn't bigger than the recipient's mail
service allows, else it'll get kicked back at you undelivered.
