Important note for Apple Mac users
In order to use Mac presentations on a PC compatible computer please note that you need to prepare it according to the instructions below:

  • Use a common font, such as Arial, Times New Roman, Verdana etc. (special fonts might be changed to a default font on a PowerPoint based PC).
  • Insert pictures as JPG files (and not TIF, PNG or PICT – these images will not be visible on a PowerPoint based PC).
  • Use a common movie format, such as AVI, MPG and WMV (MOV files from QuickTime will not be visible on a PowerPoint based PC).

You may use your own Macintosh laptop computer as a back-up. In such a case please make sure to provide a Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter (Dongle).

Please, contact the technical staff if you have additional requests.
