Alanicky,

First, thanks for the reply, but I am thinking your advice was for
Gallagher?
Second, the trouble I'm having is not necessarily PowerPoint related,
but I get your drift and went and double checked all file types related
to MS Office. All are pointing where they should be. There is not a
choice between 2003 and 2007, just Microsoft Powerpoint (or Excel, as
the case may be).

Anyone else have any ideas?

Your setting may be pointed correctly but may not be working properly.
Change some, save, then reset to default settings. When I could not
open a file I tried downloading the 2007 and the 2003 versions. They
are both now on my computer. I now have 2 PP viewers but they don't say
which is 2003 or 2007. I then clicked the file I wanted to open. When
it didn't work, I clicked change and then picked the other one. That
worked for me.

I tried saving files as opening with a different program, saving, then
switching back, and still does not work. I don't have the option of
having 2007 & 2003 on this system since it is a work system, so can't
try your other option. Thanks for your efforts though. :-(

The fix is simple..
- Uninstall Compatibility Pack for the 2007 Office system
and re-install

When opening a file with the converter, it saves it in
%userprofile%\Local Settings\Temp. You could also try to clean out that
directory and then restart your computer.

Right click, properties, uncheck Read Only.

Or, Open the file using using MS word 2003 and save it as Ms 2003-2007
document.

Download portable MS word 2003.
