exit2 Posted 2 September, 2008 Share Posted 2 September, 2008 in a nutshell no, unless when you save it you select the earlier version you need. Or you get get the reciever to download the backward convertor. This is a real pain in the ass for us at work at it seems more and more companies have upgraded and assume everone else has!

Ajv2809 Posted 2 September, 2008 Share Posted 2 September, 2008 Basically. When you press saves as. Under the box where you right the file name is another box. Just select Powerpoint 1997-2003. Its makes it a .PPT document not a .PPTX. Problem solved. : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Landrew Posted 2 September, 2008 Share Posted 2 September, 2008 just checked...it does... got POLC in 3 weeks...boooooooooooooooooooooo Don't trust it completely though. Find someone with Powerpoint 2003 and run the thing through. I would anyhow. There's almost nothing worse than a presentation screw-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's almost nothing worse than a presentation screw-up. There's no reason for it not to work if the file uses a .ppt file extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a similar problem where i had spent 20+ hours on spread sheets at home only to find that when i e-mailed them to work i couldn't open them. Ta again, Col.
