Language Problem

[Mark]

Hello,

I have a powerpoint slide that was saved in Office 2000. When the slide is
viewed in Office 2000, and the language settings are English only, the file
is OK. If you have the same settings but this time view the powerpoint
presentation in Office 2003, than there are problems.

I am at a loss to figure this out. Thanks for any help.

Have you got all the upgrade patches installed? What problems are you
experiencing?

Hi Michael,

My problem is that the presentation was first made in Office 2000 in polish.
Then the another user viewed the same presentation in English. He has
changed the settings in Office so that he may view both languages. As soon
as that same file is viewed in Office 2003, we cannot see the English
version.

I don't even have the language installed in Office. I then tried to install
the language without any success.

I would think you would have to have two presentations one in Polish, and one in
English, and switch between the two. What happens when you click on Tools,
Language? do you have the option to scroll and select either?

Hi Michael,

Thank you for your time in resolving this issue. The problem is that when
the user created the slides, it seems as if there are two layers of slides,
the polish version on top of the english version. We discovered this by
moving the text boxes within the slides.

I do not have the language installed. It seems that the original user may
have saved his file incorrectly. I'm really at a loss to see what is going
on. Hopefully this is enough information for you.

Not fully knowing what you want from the final product. I'm guessing that you
would like to have both an English and Polish version of the same presentation.
I would open the presentation and then save it under a different name. I would
open them both up, and from one delete all the English Material, and from the
other remove all the Polish Material. Save your presentations and you should be
good to go in either language. Editing would not be a problem for someone
familiar in both languages. Opening both presentations then editing each slide
in the proper language. Let us know if this helps.
