2007 Format Changes Between PCs

[Joel]

I have a powerpoint 2007 presentation in which format changes occur when I
open the file on a second PC also running 2007. For example, the size of
some text boxes change (get smaller) so that now text originally on one line
runs to a second line.

I am hoping to have compatibility between the machines so that I can use
either for presentation.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Couple of things to try then:

Make sure both PCs have an approved LOCAL default printer driver (trust me -
it matters)

Check that the font isn't changing when you swap PCs (eg Calibri > Arial
which is larger)

Wow. There is no way I could have "figured" that out. Thanks!

I set both computers to a local TCP/IP printer and the formatting is now the
same. Previously for the PC where the changes occured the default printer
used a direct USB connection (although the printer was not attached).

Much appreciated.
