Thedelldays Posted 2 September, 2008 Posted 2 September, 2008 Is it backwards compatible?? IE i do a presentation on Powerpoint office 2007, save it on a memory stick and plug the stick into a computer with office 2003 and use power point... will it work fine etc?? cheers
exit2 Posted 2 September, 2008 Posted 2 September, 2008 in a nutshell no, unless when you save it you select the earlier version you need. Or you get get the reciever to download the backward convertor. This is a real pain in the ass for us at work at it seems more and more companies have upgraded and assume everone else has!
Ajv2809 Posted 2 September, 2008 Posted 2 September, 2008 Basically. When you press saves as. Under the box where you right the file name is another box. Just select Powerpoint 1997-2003. Its makes it a .PPT document not a .PPTX. Problem solved. : )
Thedelldays Posted 2 September, 2008 Author Posted 2 September, 2008 so PPT 2007 lets you save it to use on 2003....cheers..
Guest Hacienda Posted 2 September, 2008 Posted 2 September, 2008 so PPT 2007 lets you save it to use on 2003....cheers.. It should give you that option.
Thedelldays Posted 2 September, 2008 Author Posted 2 September, 2008 It should give you that option. just checked...it does... got POLC in 3 weeks...boooooooooooooooooooooo
St Landrew Posted 2 September, 2008 Posted 2 September, 2008 just checked...it does... got POLC in 3 weeks...boooooooooooooooooooooo Don't trust it completely though. Find someone with Powerpoint 2003 and run the thing through. I would anyhow. There's almost nothing worse than a presentation screw-up.

There's almost nothing worse than a presentation screw-up. There's no reason for it not to work if the file uses a .ppt file extension.

I had a similar problem where i had spent 20+ hours on spread sheets at home only to find that when i e-mailed them to work i couldn't open them. Ta again, Col.
