type 2 error

[kevin hoyland]

We have a school using OS9.2.2 office 98. Students save to a Windows
2000 server running AFP. Occasionally the students have saved a PPT
presentation to their server file. The file is not very big or not much
detail. They come back to it and it will not open and crashes the
PowerPoint with a type 2 error. When they try to open it using OSX it
will open. They then save it and it will open in 98 again. This also
works with saving in Windows Any ideas. They can't have the students
save to the computer as they need access to the file from other
computers or other students might toss it. They are JH kids.
