PowerPoint versions

[Michael Hamstra]

We have a PowerPoint 2002 file, runs great with PowerPoint Viewer 2003.

Client modifies the file (using PowerPoint2000), then gets a corrupt file
message when then tries to launch via the Viewer?!?!?

When I receive the file from the client:
On first run from your PPT file, received the Error
Opened in PPT2002 - simply saved - Save - Same Error
Opened in PPT2002 - Save As - replaced existing - OK....?!?!?


Thank you all in advance!

Michael

It would depend on how you created the presentation and what changes the client
made. PowerPoint 2002 has new functions that are not supported in PowerPoint
2000. Primarily a good number of new animations and transitions were added to
PowerPoint 2002, although there were other changes made. What modifications did
your client make?
