We've had trouble with ppts created on Macs. It seems there's a problem opening files on windows if a template was applied on the Mac side. In some cases, pics would not show up because they are compressed in a format unavailable to the Windows side. The solution was to redo the slides on the Windows side. I know, I know...
Hope this helps. Michael At 03:02 PM 4/28/2005, Michael Blodgett wrote: >I have been working around this for awhile, fresh install of win2k, >ag2.3.
