In my own words:

Any PowerPoint 2003 file will open in PowerPoint 97, PowerPoint 2000, and PowerPoint 2002 (XP) with some loss
in features that were introduced (or updated) in PowerPoint 2003. If you save that PowerPoint 2003 file in an
earlier version of PowerPoint, you will lose some of the features were introduced/updated in PowerPoint 2003.

So to answer your question in simple terms:
Yes, it will display (open) in PowerPoint 97, PowerPoint 2000, and PowerPoint 2002 (XP). Just be very careful
about saving it in PowerPoint 97, PowerPoint 2000, or PowerPoint 2002 (XP) if you are using a feature that was
introduced (or updated) in PowerPoint 2003.

The article "Features affected by working with a PowerPoint presentation in an earlier version" describes the
features introduced (or updated) in PowerPoint 2003 and how it works in the earlier version of PowerPoint.


PowerPoint 2003 file = any PowerPoint Presentation (.ppt), PowerPoint Slide Show (.pps), or PowerPoint
Template (.pot) created in PowerPoint 2003

If the original poster doesn't "backsave," that is, if he doesn't "save as
PPT 97-2003 & 95," and just saves as he normally would, then the 2002
presentation should run just fine in PPT 2003.

The Help file is misleading and should not say "Features affected when you
open in PowerPoint 2002 or save to the
PowerPoint 97-2003 & 95 Presentation format," because opening the file in
PPT 2002 does not create the problems described in that link.

Sorry, I said that backwards -- I meant the 2003 presentation should run
just fine in PPT XP (aka PPT 2002).

The gist of what I was saying still holds, though!
