Taking a PPT File from 2007 back to 97?
in [Powerpoint]
|
From: wolf_tracks on 16 Apr 2010 15:43 I just created a ppt file with PPT 2007 on my Win 7 PC. I'd now like to xfer it to my PC XP laptop that has PPT 97 on it. Will it work? I guess I'll find out! If not, is there a conversion I should make in 2007? -- Wayne Watson (Watson Adventures, Prop., Nevada City, CA) (121.015 Deg. W, 39.262 Deg.

Will it work is a difficult question to answer. Your best bet is probably to save it in 97-2003 format because 2007 uses a different format. There is a compatibility pack for older versions of PowerPoint to read the 2007 format, but I'm not sure if it is available for 97. The next problem you will have is that 2007 (and 2003, 2002, and 2000) has new features that won't work in 97. If you used SmartArt or multiple masters or triggered animations or any of the other newer features, they will not work properly in 97. --David -- David M.

From: Steve Rindsberg on 17 Apr 2010 11:57 Hmm. I thought the Compat Pack would only install into PPT 2000 or higher. Does it work with PPT 97 too?
