Thanks. I've been looking at news:microsoft.public.mac.office.powerpoint
as far back as 2003 and it seems that there has been problems for some
time.
Thread: "MS Powerpoint to Mac" by Steve Rindsberg, PPTMVP 29/08/2003 =>

=>
A Cross-Platform Viewers for Windows, Mac and Linux =>
http://www.webware.com/8301-1_109-9728550-2.html
works ok except the sound is only played for the first slide.
Btw what does "EM" stand for?
