Migration - save msg

[WGD]

Recently migrated from PP Ver 2003 to Ver 2007. A few files were created
in Ver 2003.

These files are now being ammended under Ver 2007.

When saving, a msg continues to be displayed: "Check compatibility when
saving in PP 97-2003" which I leave unchecked.

How do I get rid of this message? Is there a SAVE setting that I missed?

Tks!

Hi Steve:

I "Hear, read" you. Appreciative. When I attempt to force a SaveAs to
pptx, "it" ends up, opens the viewer. What am I doing wrong??

Upon doing a SaveAs, the then still open file's name changes from .ppt to
..pptx. If I close then open again, the .pptx file, the viewer takes over.
I must be reading wrong, am too impatient or ???

Help Bill!

Tks,

Hello Steve: Appreciate your feedback.

If I first open PP2007, then locate the .pptx file from the recent list, all
is fine. However, if I go to the directory/folder where the file is
located, clicking on the .pptx files opens the viewer, not PP2007. Is this
normal? If so, how do I tell a desktop shortcut to open the .pptx with
PP2007, NOT the viewer??

Tks!!

Hi Wayne

Try fixing up the windows file association:
1. Right click a pptx
2. Select Open with... -> Choose program (even in PPT 2007 is in the list)
3. Select PowerPoint 2007 from this list and tick 'always use the selected
program to open this kind of file'

BTW this can also be done in windows explorer: tools -> folder options ->
file types

Thanks to the both of you. Can't help but wonder why Mr. Gates decided to
go the route I experienced.

Got it all working fine now. I was just surprised that PPT's Viewer became
the default, so to speak, and I had to manually tell .pptx to GoTo the
"main" PPT appl. Thank You for vectoring me to the easy fix.
