Recently I have just found out I need to present a short case next week. The title is basically "Electrolyte disturbances in an alcoholic patient" and I am using microsoft power point (same as most people) to give it.

The thing is I have used a power point background ( ie a .pot file) not normally found in powerpoint, ie I was bored so I downloaded some powerpoint backgrounds.

My question is will the computer at work still be able to load my power point file, or do I need to use a background which is already inbuilt into power point. Obviously I don't want to have to prepare a presentation only to have it not load up when I give it.

I think its saved in the presentation. Images you insert certainly are, so I'd imagine backgrounds are too.

Templates are designed to be embedded into the final PPT/PPTX file.

You could try taking a half-finished presentation into work and seeing what happens. Alternatively, you could check file sizes before and after adding a background image. If the size jumps noticeably, it probably got saved in the presentation.
