PowerPoint Document Versions

[NurseJaneO]

I am trying to find out if there is a way to determine the version of
PowerPoint used to create a presentation. I can see what version of
PowerPoint of have on my computer or others, but I wanted to know if there is
a way to see what the presentation is written in. Can you help?

I think from memory that this has been asked before. I think the answer was
there is nothing in the file to indicate what version of powerpoint created
the file. This could be different with powerpoint version 2007.

What is it you are trying to achieve?

Thanks for the information. We present a lot of our company content to
clients on PowerPoint. We are trying to standardize how and what content is
delivered. Internally we have several versions of PowerPoint that have been
used to create the content we already have. So, we are trying to figure out
what version the documents are all in so we can inform our clients.

Some of our clients have very old versions of PowerPoint (95 or 98)
resulting in our documents looking terrible on their machines. We understand
our clients "should" update, but these are not very computer-savvy folks. It
just creates an impression that our work is sloppy.
