PP 2003 Can't Read file

[Michael]

I got a new computer loaded with PowerPoint 2003. I am
unable to open any of my old files saved in PowerPoint
2000. Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 820703
addresses the issue but is there a better way of fixing
this?

To quote Ms. Sonia:
Try the hot fix for PowerPoint that Microsoft released two weeks ago.

Hello,

You might be encountering a known OfficeArt (Office Drawing Objects) issue
which can occur when a file saved from Office 97 or Office 2000 is opened
up in Office 2003 (PowerPoint, Word or Excel).

Please check the information in the Microsoft Knowledgebase:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;828041

Let us know if this resolves the problem for you.
