I'm trying to write complete directions for my students. My home computer
uses 2007 with Vista, and the school computers are only 2003. Is there a way
to work in 2003?
 
Bag Lady,
You can save it as a Powerpoint 97-2003 file if you want. Or install the
compatability pack for Office 2003 on the schools computers, if that is an
option. So that they can easily read the new format. The new effects you can
apply in 2007 like 3D and others will be shown in version 2003 but converted
to pictures. So I would suggest keeping it simple as they won't be able to
edit it.

If you are trying to make ppt 2007 emulate what ppt 2003 'looks like' - so
you can write your directions, then you are out of look.

Sorry

If the question is "Will Office 2003 run under Vista" then the answer is yes.

If you want multiple versions of Office, you can generally do that as well, but
you want to install oldest first; that'd mean uninstalling 2007, installing
2003, then reinstalling 2007. If you don't have install CDs for both Office
versions, I don't know that I'd try this.

If the question was "Can I make 2007 act like 2003" then the other folks have
pretty much covered that one.
