I created a presentation in Powerpoint 2007. When I try and view it on
another PC (also running 2007) the text displays all over the slide -
sometimes running off the edge of the slides. Both machines are on the same
network, both using XP Pro and office 2007. It happens if the presentation
is created as a pptx (2007) file OR as a ppt (97 - 2003 compatible) file.

Any ideas or suggestions?
 
Is it a fonts issue?
Are you using a standard Windows font or a specail one that happens to be
installed on your machine and not on the other one? If so then using save
font with presentation option should solve that.

cheers

Chris - it's using Ariel Narrow, which is a common font AFAIK. will try the
saving thing anyway - just to see if it helps. thanks for the suggestion.
 
This appears to be a classic case of the Printer Driver Problem. You
need to install a local printer driver as the default printer on the
afflicted machine. For more information check out this entry from the
