Can I work back and forth from two computers using Powerpoint. I am working on a presentation and am working back and forth between Powerpoint 97 and a the latest version at my college. Are the two compatible?
 
Yes, as long as you turn off on the college version, under Tools | Options |
Edit, the items under Disable new features before you start your presentation.
You should then have no problem going back and forth.

Can I work back and forth from two computers using Powerpoint. I am working on

They are compatible as long as the new animations in 2002 or 2003 aren't
used. If you want to ensure you don't use the new animations, click
"Tools", "Options", click the "Edit" TAB and uncheck the "Disable... "New
animation effects".

If the college has PowerPoint 2002 or 2003, the file formats are
compatible/the same, but those later versions have features that are not
available in PowerPoint 97. If you are expected to use the animations or
transitions available in PowerPoint 2002 or 2003, I would recommend that you
only work on the presentation when you are at school. Otherwise, at school
when you open PowerPoint go to Tools > Options > Edit and disable the new
features - - the three items listed at the bottom of the dialog. Then you
can work in both locations.

Note: Don't save your presentation directly to a floppy disk or CD for
transporting between locations. Save the presentation to the hard disk and
then copy it to your removable media. Otherwise you may end up with a
corrupted presentation file.
