Hi :) It might be better to convert to Odp and then it should look the same on both machines.
According to Microsoft you can expect differences in the way documents are displayed between their different operating systems. A file produced in MS Office 2010 on Xp might well look different if it's displayed in MS Office 2010 on Win7 even if they use the same printer and all settings are as close as they can be. Odp tends to look the same. Usually the older formats tend to work better, Ppt rather than PptX or Odp 1.1 rather than the default Odp 1.2 (Extended). If you really need things to look exactly the same then an uneditable format such as Pdf would be better.

I want to be able to edit and save PowerPoints on either machine. However, when loading Ppt in Presentation it does not always convert font and layout properly. Occasional tabs or spaces are missing or duplicated; occasional text boxes have text outside the slide, etc. Then when I then save the presentation as ppt it changes the font, for example, from bold to basic and shows tabs or spaces (see above) as missing. Is there some way of ensuring that the conversions are consistent and presentations can be switched back and forth? As a separate issue, in some cases Presentation show jpg's as "sqeezed" in the slide listing on the left, although they are OK when I click on the slide or when I do the show.
