Considerations for PC Users [create on PC then move to Mac]
Appropriate extension usage: use .PPTX, .PPSX if saving from PowerPoint 2007/2008/2010/2011 format or use .PPT or .PPS if saving to an earlier-version format or saving from an earlier version.
Copy the media file to the folder where the PowerPoint file is, and only then insert it; otherwise links to most media files will break.
AVI or MPEG are better choice files for videos or sounds; don’t use WMV (Windows Media Player).
Usage of fonts: Arial, Times New Roman, Courier and Symbol are best presented on MACS.
Don’t squeeze your text into placeholders: Text rendering on PC vs MAC (font substitution) can cause your squeezed text to get cut off by text boxes.
Poster Guidelines

Guaranteed dimensions: 1 meter x 1 meter
Note:The poster boards or the area designed for the sessions limits the dimension of the posters to the mentioned numbers. Meticulous checking is required in all posters for typographic and grammatical mistakes and image (usage of color) quality.
