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.

A poster board number cut-out will be provided and must be visible at all times. The poster board number assigned to the poster must be placed in the upper left-hand corner of the display.
Be sure to include the presentation title, author and co-author names, e-mail address, phone, and the institution(s).
It is recommended that you hand-carry your poster to the conference, using tubular packaging or a portfolio case. Pushpins, or thumbtacks will be provided to mount your poster.
