Converting PowerPoint Show 7 files to Powerpoint 2000

[Kerry_y]

After backing up key files to a DVD before reformatting my hard drive, I
found that when I reloaded Office 2000 and my backed up files onto my hard
drive all my PowerPoint files were showing as PowerPoint Show 7.
Consequently when I double clicked to open them I was asked what program I
wanted to open them with. How can I convert them back to their original form
because when I try to save them as 'presentations' a message says it is still
a ppt file and it stays as a Sohw 7 file when saved.

Save your presentations as presentations with no backward compatibility.
