Attention

When you copy your presentation to a different computer for the show, even if you have PowerPoint2013 installed on your computer, you should also be aware of copying the files that are linked to your presentation, such as audio files and video files. Also, be careful to keep these files in the same folder as your presentation, otherwise the linked content may not display correctly.
