Slides Copied from another Presentation Do Not Show Up When Sent to another PC

[JEA]

I created a presentation on my apple ibook from a slide
that i "copied" and "pasted" from another powerpoint
presentation. When I tried to email the whole presentation
to my PC, it shows up with 12 empty slides. I am running
Microsoft Office XP on my PC and running MAC OS X 10 on my
ibook, so the two versions mach perfectly as far as i have
been told.

When i began, I liked the slide format that i made in the
other presentation, so instead of creating a new
presentation, i simply copied one page and then
chose "duplicate slide" for each additional page in my new
presentation.

Is there something i can change so that this presentation
can be viewed on my PC? I emailed it as well as copied it
onto a USB Driver and neither way worked.

Is it the way that I "copied" the slide from the other
presentation that is causing the problem? Is there anyway
to fix this now or do i need to create this presentation
all over again in order to be able to email it to someone?

I really have to print this presentation for a client and
i don't have a printer that can connect to my mac. The
only way that i have printed anyhthing from my Mac in the
past is by emailing it to myself, downloading it onto my
PC and printing to the network printer here at the office.

Thanks for your help.

Check to see if you have the latest updates for MS Office XP, specifically PPT.
This kind of thing happens on the first release of Office 2003/PPT until SP1 is
applied. It's possible that the same might be true of XP.

If it's just a matter of needing to get it printed, I'd save to PDF on the mac
and print that from Acrobat Reader (free) on the PC
