Installing PowerPoint 2004 on a computer with PowerPoint 2008

[pptjimmy]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel

Hi, I have some PowerPoint projects I have developed in PPT 2004 on an older mac. My new mac has Office/PPT 2008 installed. My client only has PowerPoint 2003 and can only take my 2004 files.

If I install PowerPoint 2004 on my Intel MacPowerBook Pro that already has Office/PPT 2008 installed...are any issues or none conflicts in doing this?

any feedback is appreciated.
Thanks

You can always save down from 2008. The native file format for 2008 is PPTX but when saving, you have the option to save down to 2004 via PPT extension. One word of caution, I have experienced problems dragging and dropping images and other elements into PP and then saving down. It's a pain, but until this bug gets fixed, make sure to import pictures and other elements through buttons and such, not copy and paste or drag and drop.

Hope this helps!
