[AG-TECH] mac graphics in powerpoint missing

[Ulrich Schwenn]

Hi Tom,
that happened a lot in the early days of Mac turning to MS Office. 
Typical errors are all kind of symbols like greek letters, exponents, 
and especially drag and drop graphics from Macs.
Try to upgrade your Macs to the newest SW release and your PCs to at 
least Office2000, better to OfficeXP, store the graphics as separate 
files and include those in the PPT.
AND - test the presentation together with the author on the machine you 
are using for presentation.
Thats nerving, I know
