PC filesharing

[Mel]

If I create a Powerpoint preso on the Mac and burn it onto
a CD, will it run on a PC? Do I need any special software
or do I need to use Virtual PC?

 

[David M. Marcovitz]

The basic features all work fine across platforms, but some of the
details might be different. Most of the problems I see are caused by
different fonts being on different computers, but that can happen from
one Mac to another or one PC to another. If you are linking files or
adding sounds or videos, you might run into some difficulty. It's always
best to test on the target system if you can. Of course, the PC will
need PowerPoint or the PowerPoint Viewer installed.
