LET'S REVIEW - PROBLEM:
I am using PPT 2000 on Windows 2000. My presentation
has .wma music that spans several slides. When I tried to
play the PPS presentation (also the PPT) the music did not
play and execution was very slow.
SOLUTION:
Per suggestion I received from this group; I took my
presentation home where I opened and saved it using PPT
XP. The PPT 2003 Viewer works correctly with the XP-saved
version - the music plays correctly and execution speed is
what it should be both at home (Windows XP/PPT XP) and
here at the office (Windows 2000/PPT 2000).
I saved the PPS version in 2000 and the viewer still
worked with the result.
CAVEATS FROM MICROSOFT:
The Microsoft Office PowerPoint Viewer allows you to view
full-featured presentations created in Microsoft Office
PowerPoint 2003. The PowerPoint Viewer supports viewing
presentations created in PowerPoint 97, PowerPoint 2000,
and PowerPoint 2002. The PowerPoint Viewer also supports
opening password-protected PowerPoint presentations.
