Tips to Remember When Sending Presentations to Other People

If you are creating a PowerPoint presentation that you will distribute to several people, below are some tips to help prevent others from not being able to view the presentation.

1. Use the fonts that were installed with Windows; Fancy fonts that appear on your machine will cause problems if everyone else doesn't have them.

2. Avoid embedding sounds and videos: these will not go from Mac to Windows.

3. Try looking at the presentation on a different platform (Mac vs Windows); be prepared for some visual changes in your file--the version or platform may not support some of the features you've put in, so be sure to sanity check your file on several different machines and versions BEFORE you distribute it!
