I am using Powerpoint 2003 running on XP.
I have been sent a presentation that was created by a
series of people.
All of the slides that were created by a person using a
macintosh are blank. The rest of the slides are ok.
The same file can be read by other people using other
versions of powerpoint and/or other operating systems.
They can see all of the slides.

Has anyone else seen this problem?
Is there a solution?
