Sorry, I misled you, it should be able to open the files, but it converts
them to 2003 compatible (ppt) so does not *really* open 2007 files. If you
get what I mean. The 2007 viewer is basically the 2003 viewer + the
compatibility pack. Hopefully they will release one that is truly a 2007
viewer at some point....

Lucy Thanks for the info, but why even call it PPT Viewer 2007 if it can't
even open PPT 2007 files?

For the pdf converter I'm using the one that comes with Adobe CS3, perhaps
I
should be using the one MS let you dl for free...

Hi

I'm afraid this is expected behaviour - the 2007 viewer can't actually
open
2007 (pptx) files (I know, I know - don't shoot the messenger).

What are you using to convert to pdf? What specific problems did you have
when saving to 2003?

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.
