Paula,
Presentations created in older versions of PowerPoint should open just fine
in PPT 2003. If they don't then check if you have installed all the service
packs.
To ensure that presentations that you create open in PPT 97, you will need
to turn off the new features available in PPT 2003. To do so:
1. Select Tools | Options...
2. Select the Edit tab.
3. Under the section 'Disable new features', tick all the 3 options.
4. Click on OK.

This effectively reverts PPT 2003 to a state similar to 97/2000.
