how do I convert a ppt 2003 file into a ppt 95 and up file and st.

[essentialmix]

I made a powerpoitn presentation in powerpoint 2003 in Windows XP, users who
have windows 200 or below cannot open the file, and when I save the file as
98 2003 and 95 the file size goes from 538k to 24megs. Size is a major issue,
and I need ot keep the file under a meg. any suggestions or plug-ins I can
use for this?

your best bet is to try and find the reason why the file will not open.

A powerpoint 2003 file should be able to be opened in powerpoint 2000.

Create a simple file, and try it.

PowerPoint 2002 (XP) vs 2000 vs 97

Have you applied a password to the file? That would explain why they can't open
it. Normally there should be no problem.
