Copying slides from ppt to pptx

[dahl.matt]

how do i go about copying slides from a ppt to a pptx? I have the
compatibility pack and it didn't help at all... any suggestions?

What version of PP do you have on your system?

Can you open the pptx file or is that where you are having trouble?

If you are using a version of PPT prior to 2007 you can't save a file as
PPTX, only PPT and the conversion pack won't help as it is only a PPTX
reader and does not miraculously make an earlier version into 2007 feature
rich version. It does not matter to the receiver what version of PPT you
save it into as PPT '07 can open all PPT file back to PPT '97 at least.

That not true, once you load the Compatibility Pack file(s), you can save
your presentation as a .pptx.

Choosing "Save As" in PP 2003 and scrolling down through the types will show
all the 2007 formats at the bottom of the list.

Yep, I was just about to type that!

Obviously it doesn't give you all of the 2007 features but you can save in
the XML formats.

OK, I'll stand corrected but I can't on my computer with only Office 2003
and the latest compatibility pack. Must be something wrong with my
version's installation.
