Viewer 2003 problems- REDUX

[Rob]

Per earlier suggestions, I tried changing the fonts and
turning off hardware acceleration (and anything else I
can think of), but to no avail. Has anyone else
experienced the issue below? Found a way to fix it?

Please see the original question below.

Thanks in advance,

Rob

Hi All,

I hope someone can help me with this. I've created a
self-running PowerPoint demo (that runs in Kiosk mode).
The presentation works great when I run it from the full
PowerPoint 2003, but I also want my audience to be able
to run it from the 2003 Viewer.

The problem is, when I run the presentation from the 2003
viewer, some of the text on some pages becomes corrupted.

Specifically, the animated text will lose its position or
animate all the letters on top of each other.

The problem is frustrating because it is intermittent,
occurring on different computers. The corruption does
not always occur on the same pages or text.

Anyone else experienced this or found a way to fix it?
Your help is truly appreciated!

Please don't kill me for asking this, but are you testing it with ppview32.exe
or pptview.exe?

I don't know what has already been suggested to you, because I cant't find
the original thread.

Which font(s) did you use? Don't use "exotic" fonts, if you don't know the
machine it's going to run on. If the font you use is not installed on the
target machine, you will not be able to view the slides correctly. For
presentations which are going to run on a variety of computers, choose
standard fonts like Arial or TimesNewRoman.

Do the described phenomenons still appear if you substitute all fonts with
Arial (in a copy of your presentation!)?

Kind regards,
Ute

Yes. I tried changing all the fonts to Arial, but the
problem still persists, but is intermittent. Very
frustrating.

Thanks.
