[RESOLVED] Microsoft Powerpoint

[robcarr2]

Does anyone know if a presenation created in powerpoint 2003 will be compatible with powerpoint 2000? I have been told the animations wont work in 2000 but I will be able to open the presenation and see the slides without animation. Any info on this would be good

I would think that if you are going backward (2003 --> 2000) that is should work because 2003 should know how to handle 2000.

This is theoretical of course, and I have nothing with which to test it.

powerpoint is the most touchy program ever created... God only knows what it will do when you run it with another 2003...

You could always download the free 2003 PP viewer utility. Then it will play the same on any system with the viewer utility.

Or in PowerPoint 2003 save the presentation as PowerPoint97-2003 & 95. Then it should work, but the file will be huge.

Hey, I tried it on 2000 and it opened ok but just not the animations, but aslong as it opens ok thats the main thing :) I can just use animations on 2000. Thanks for the replies
