They're not really jpeg or gif if they've been copy/pasted.
Use Insert, Picture, From File instead. That should prevent the problem.

Most computers don't have Zapf Dingbats installed. Try Wingdings instead;
it's more likely to be on both Macs with PPT and on most PCs.

PostScript is a printer language. Certain types of fonts that are designed
specifically for use with PostScript (PS) printers are sometimes called
PostScript or Type1 fonts. Zapf Dingbats is one of these.

The PC user could purchase Zapf Dingbats (from adobe.com -- the online store
there is one place that sells PS fonts) and install them fairly easily if they
have Windows 2000 or XP. If they use an earlier version, it all gets much more
complex.

Again, if you use Wingdings instead, it should solve the problem with much less
trouble for all.
