Problems running a Mac Powerpoint presentation on a PC

[meh1]

A pretty simple presentation (Powerpoint from Office 2004 for Mac)
that looks absolutely fine on my iMac looks horrible when run on a PC.
The letters in the words overlap each other in a most bizarre way.
Does anyone know what I can do to prevent this phenomenon please?

It sounds to me like a font issue. Does the PC have the fonts you are using
on the Mac? If not, you might try a more common font.

What fonts have you used in the presentation, and are they present on the PC?

It sounds like a classic "missing font" problem and probably isn't a Mac/PC
issue. Hope so, because the the font problem should be easy to fix <g>
