Hi John

That's what I meant, I just didn't say it very well :-) The viewer can open
pptx files but it converts them to ppts so it shouldn't be relied upon,
particularly for a print job.

Surely the 2007 viewer can open .pptx files?

I know it's a complete bodge but they should open. Since it works by
converting to a ppt file I doubt if it will solve the problems with
bullets
though.

I created a presentation in PowerPoint 2007 and I wanted to have it
printed
at a shop so they installed PP Viewer 2007, but couldn't open the file.
They
get the following error: PowerPoint Viewer cannot open the file
"filename.pptx".

To make sure it wasn't their problem I installed PowerPoint Viewer 2007
on
another one of my computers, but I got the same error. In the end I just
saved it as a PDF, but all the bevelled fonts looked terrible.

For future reference does anyone know how to fix this? I want to either
be
able to open the .pptx file in viewer 2007 or save it as a pdf so the
bevelled fonts are sharp.

Thanks,
Lawrence

PS. I also saved it as *.ppt file and viewer 2007 was able to open it,
but
somethings were not right, such as the bullet point symbols.
