Can I use newer PowerPoint files with PowerPoint 2000?

I am trying to use a PowerPoint 2003 or XP file on a computer that runs
PowerPoint 2000. Can this be done, or will there be differences that will
change the format?

There will be differences because PowerPoint 2000 doesn't support the features
that are new in PowerPoint 2002 and 2003. Those features include animations and
transitions. If you just need to view the file, not edit it, consider
downloading the PowerPoint 2003 Viewer which does support all features.
