* How to make sure your presentation will run on every computer *
One of the biggest worries presenters and public speakers have regarding their presentations is that they might encounter some difficulties when running a PowerPoint show in somebody else's computer. Besides, traveling in different countries with computers with different language settings or different operating systems, it can be possible to run into troubles when trying to open and run our PowerPoint presentation in another PC.
There are indeed a number of solutions to work around this problem and each one fits a different need. After reviewing the pros and cons of each one, I will give you my personal advice on what I think should be your best approach.
Let's make an example: I have created my presentation using PowerPoint 2000 in an English version Windows-based computer. I have to travel to Asia, I don't know what operating system I will find installed on the PCs, I don't know what version of PowerPoint (2000? 97? 4.0?) is installed and even whether PowerPoint is installed or not.
