Default 2007 to 2003 Power Point

I did a project in Microsoft 2007 power point and i need to put it into
microsoft 2003. I have been unable to open the project onto the computer
because it has 2003 powerpoint and not 2007. Any suggestions?

Default 2007 to 2003 Power Point

In 2007, use File (Office button) | Save As and save as 97-2003 format. PPT
2003 can open this type of file.

There is also a compatibility pack you can install, but saving in the proper
format is easier. If you decide to install the compat pack, note that you
must install *all* high-priority Windows updates, or it won't work.

One other advantage to saving as 97-2003: PPT 2007 will run the
compatibility checker and tell you what isn't supported by the older
versions.

Good point!

They did a nice job with that checker; I'm especially glad they added
pointers to which slides the nonsupported objects live on.

I just wish the Word compatibility report was as helpful!
