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!
 
Is it possible that the presentation uses fonts that aren't available on the
other systems? What fonts are used? You can determine that by opening the
presentation in PowerPoint and going to Format > Replace fonts and scrolling the
"Replace" list at the top. Have the display drivers been updated recently on
the other systems? Do you get the same behavior on your system when you run the
presentation in the Viewer? And, just curious - - do all of the other systems
have local printers installed?
 
Sonia,

Good questions. Here goes- I'm using Arial, so the font
shouldn't be an issue. Display drivers are up to date.

As I said, the weird this is that the corruption only
happens when running the presentation in the 2003
Viewer. No problems running in full PowerPoint.

Local printers are on each machine.

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

Thanks in advance,

Rob
