2003 / 2007 Compatability

[Sue C]

I have written a presentation in 2007, but saved it as a Powerpoint 97-2003
Presentation.

I am trying to present it, using a computer that is still using the 2003
version. I have downloaded the Compatability Pack, but still find that some
of the typefaces and effects I have used do not work. This throws out the
whole appearance of the slide show.

Is this the best I can hope for?

Thanks.

Sometimes I get some effects or animations error in PowerPoint file
which is compatibly saved in PowerPoint 2007. So I give up saving .doc
from PowerPoint 2007. That's the best way I can do.

BTW if I wanna email a file made in PowerPoint 2007 to others, for
assurance I'll transform the file to Flash which can retain original
effects and animations by Wondershare PPT2Flash. Maybe this is an
alternative way to solve compatibility problem.

I suggest some conversion tools for you:
Wondershare PPT2Flash: http://www.sameshow.com/powerpoint-to-flash.html
Articulate Presenter: http://www.articulate.com
FlashSpring 2.0: http://www.flashsspring.com

Thanks. I tried these, but I don't think the free trial version will achieve
what I need to achieve, and I can't justify the expense of buying the full
version.

I've taken my presentation back to a machine running 2003 and re-worked it
using older typefaces and effects. Not exactly progresss, but it got the job
done!

Thanks again.

Really nothing that fancy ... I had used the Stencil typeface to 'stamp'
titles onto pictures. And had used a couple of transition effects that
failed when showed on 2003. I've re-visited the presentation on a machine
loaded with 2003 and re-selected fonts and transitions. Lesson learnt for
next time.

In the meantime I'm left wondering what the Compatability Pack does actually
achieve, if it doesn't deal with things as straight forward as this???

Thanks for your help.
