Our office has a mix of PowerPoint XP and 2000 on
computers. When saving a PowerPoint XP file as a 2000
file, the size of the 2000 file increases astronomically.
How can be avoid this?

Also, when building speaker notes in XP and saving in a
2000 format, some slides disappear in Notes view.
(Actually the slide doesn't disappear, but is shrunk to a
pinpoint size that has to be resized in XP, and is
completey gone in 2000). Has anyone experienced this?
 
PowerPoint 2002 and 2000 use the same file format, so you don't need to do
anything special when you save the presentation. Just save it as
Presentation(*.PPT).

You are probably saving it as PowerPoint 97-2002 & 95 Presentation (*.PPT),
which is really saving it in PowerPoint 95 format and that accounts for the
size (uncompressed) and probably for the other problems you are seeing.

Just save it, but for best results disable advanced features.
