PowerPoint Presenters: Bring your presentation on a Windows readable USB flash Drive or CD-ROM. If you create a CD, make sure that you close or "finalize" your session. If you omit this step, you cannot access the CD from any other computer. Whenbuilding your presentation, use standard fonts (e.g., Times Roman, Helvetica, Arial, New Times Roman), basic fonts are included on the session room PC but if an unusual font is used it may not translate. Includein the same folder as your presentation, any external files utilized, e.g. movie files. Copy the entire folder to the USB flash Drive or CD-ROM. Video clips (other than certain animated gif files) are not embedded in PowerPoint presentations; you will need to bring the separate video files with you and submit them along with your presentation. Test your presentation on a separate PC compatible computer to ensure fonts are standard and components such as movies are included rather than merely linked in your presentation. 18

8 36TH INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS OF PHYSIOLOGICAL SCIENCES (IUPS2009) Users of Macintosh Computers: You should bring your own Macintosh. Because there are many issues that can arise when PowerPoint files created on a Mac are run on a Windows PC. Laptops: Speakers using their own laptops MUST HAVE a VGA D-sub15pin female output. Some laptops have special video output cables to get to the D-sub15pin required for connecting to external monitors and data projectors. If this cable is not with the laptop being used there is no way to connect to a Data Projector. The laptop output resolution should be no more then XGA (1024x768). The native resolution on the data projectors is 1024x768 so higher resolutions will force the data projector into a compression mode possibly losing some information or not projecting.
