maximize use of ppt files created in PP 2003 with older versions o

[zena]

I'm having someone create powerpoint presentations using PP 2003. The
presentations link to quicktime video and URLs, and contain short powerpoint
animations. We'd like these presentations to be viewed and edited using other
versions of PowerPoint (98, 2000, 2001, 2002). What type of file (PowerPoint
version) is it best to save the ppt in in order to maximize the number of
versions of PowerPoint that will be able to use these presentations?

The presentations will be delivered to users on CD.

Thanks

I would just save the file. PPT 97-2003 all share the same file format, so
there's no reason to backsave.

There's also really no way to save a Windows PPT file for the Mac. I'd just
suggest that you make sure to stick to a basic font like Arial.

When you're delivering on CD, remember to tell your end users that they'll
need to install Quicktime in order to view the videos. You might want to
include a link or an installer (if that's legal).
