Hi,
The most likely problem is that the font that was used to create the bullets
is not on the Mac.
The easiest solution would be to switch the font being used for the bullets
to one of the ones Microsoft provides with Office.
Follow this link and scroll down to the "Fonts" section:

"Fonts
When you create a file that will be shared with others, choose your fonts
carefully. If the file is opened by an Office program on another computer
and the fonts it contains are not installed on that computer, different
fonts will be substituted for the ones that you chose.
This is not necessarily a bad thing. The substituted fonts will likely look
fine. But if you want to make sure that your file looks the same across both
Windows and Mac platforms, choose fonts that are most likely to be installed
on a Windows-based computer.
The fonts that are installed by default with Office for Mac are also
installed with Windows versions of Office. So it's a safe bet that when you
choose from these fonts, other people will see the same fonts that you see.
You can choose the following fonts with confidence: Arial, Arial Black,
Century Gothic, Comic Sans MS, Copperplate Gothic Bold, Copperplate Gothic
Light, Curlz MT, Edwardian Script ITC, Impact, Lucida Handwriting, Monotype
Sorts, Tahoma, Times New Roman, Verdana, and Wingdings."

I have a PC PPT 2003 file using roman numerals as bullets. When my
client opens the file on her mac, the bullets display as a symbol of
hands in front of a mailbox. They can't seem to find anyway to
reassign the bullet on the master to a roman numeral. I believe
they're using PPT 2004 on their Macs. I'd test it on my but my power
supply just killed my Mac. Any help would be appreciated.
