Hi all,
I have a USB stick I use to transfer files from my work pc to my mac at
home. This works fine with all files bar Powerpoint. If I take a
powerpoint file from my pc, put it on the usb stick, put it in the mac,
then double click a powerpoint file - whether still on the USB stick or
transferred from the USB stick to my mac hard drive - I get the
whirling beach ball of death. Force quit doesn't work, so I have to
hold the power button down to restart. I have powerpoint 2004 on the mac
and 2000 at work. My mac is a G4 powerbook with 10.3.9. Any suggestions
greatly appreciated.
Best regards

Tried using a PC formated Disk ? email ?
I would suspect (one the information given) it is a problem between the
PC and MAC and the DIFFERENT Versions.
I would consider other options before suspecting the flash stick. I am
not saying it is not possible, just rule other options out first.

Kat.
