I'm interested in using an external USB zip drive to transfer files between my Mac and a PC running Windows XP.

More specifically, does anyone know if I can save a PowerPoint file created on my Mac to a PC formatted zip cartridge, so that it can then be transferred to a PC?

I am using Office X on my Mac. Are there other compatibility issues between sharing PowerPoint files between the Mac and PC?

Other than maybe some font issues, there is an excellent compatibility between PC and Mac Powerpoint.

And saving your PPT file to a PC-formatted zip will work just fine. I used to do it all the time for work.
