I am experiencing two problems. Slides appear correctly in slide view mode
but are displayed incorrectly in slideshow mode.

1. Fonts are chopped in half (upper half of all letters are missing). The
slides are using a common font (Times New Roman) so I am pretty sure both the
creating machine and the display machine have the font.

2. Slideshow slides are too "large" for the display but slide view slides
fit correctly.

The slides are created in PowerPoint 2003 and shown in PowerPoint 2007. I
have ordered additional copies of Office 2007 so the problem may go away once
everyone is using the 2007 product.

Try saving the show in the PowerPoint 1997-2003
compatibility format. The file extension should be ".ppt"
PowerPoint 2007's natural extension is ".pptx".

Also, consider you have a "strange" overlay or watermark as
the master slide embedded in all slides in the show or
something else that PPT 2003 cannot handle.

Lastly, wonder about your computer video adapter setup, such
as resolution and color quality, maybe they are set too low?

As an experiment, try a few test slides using a different
font. Maybe on those few machines, the font has become
corrupted?

As well as the above make sure that you have a certified printer driver
installed locally and set as default. I know it sounds crazy - but it matters!

I also have trouble with half letters in any text box with animation. I am
working with PPT 2007 run through Media Shout. Suggestions?
