I am experiencing a STRANGE compatibility issue between my customer
(PowerPoint 2003) and my (PowerPoint 2007) slide shows. I am saving the
presentation as .ppt, but the Page Number keeps disappearing on the handout
master. To replicate the error.
1. Create a new presentation in PowerPoint 2007
2. Include a page number on the handout master
3. Add a slide to the presentation
4. Print Preview, Handouts, verify the page number is present
5. Save as test.ptt (PowerPoint 97 -2003 version)
6. Send the file to someone using PowerPoint 2003
7. Open the file in PowerPoint 2003
8. Add a new page
9. Print Preview, Handouts
Every time the file is passed/opened between the different version of
PowerPoint, the page number will VANISH on the handout page for the user on
PowerPoint 2003. The page number will still be visible for the person using
PowerPoint 2007. This happens even though you're forcing the file to be saved
as .ppt vice .pptx
I installed the compatibility pack on my Office 2003 machine and the error
still exists. Any ideas??
