Hola, Echo....

Before saying anything else, my thanks for your motivating comments and
suggestions.

Looking at your website, I notice the new formats for PPoint 2007...my
question :

1. What happens to old .ppt and .pps files? Are we going to be able to view
them in spite of new formats, or do we have to convert them?
2. If they must be converted, how will this be done ?

Best greetings,

Gus

You're so very welcome.

Microsoft learned well from the Office 95 to 97 file format changes.

There will be patches for Office XP and 2003 applications so they can
recognize, open, edit, and save the new 2007 file formats. I thought Office
2000 was included in that, but this link
http://www.microsoft.com/office/preview/beta/converter.mspx doesn't mention
it. You'd want both the Awareness Update and the Compatibility Pack from
that page.

And thank YOU for your javascript posts. Keep them coming ... I'll wear out
the "Save" keys but that's ok, I can buy a new keyboard. ;-)

To add to what Echo mentioned:

You'll be able to open them in 2007. You'll also be able to save 2007 files
backward to the older format (though of course anything that's not supported in
the older format may be affected in various ways)

There's also the notion of a "compatibility" mode that I don't fully understand
yet; the idea is that if you're opening a PPT into 2007, PPT understands that
you may have to edit the file and hand it back to the person who created it and
who still uses an earlier version. So it disables any features that might not
survive well. Nice touch!
 
Buenos días to you, Steve, long time we hadn't exchanged views...

You're most welcome. Perhaps one of the the messages I'd like to spread
among the newsgroup visitors and friends is that in spite of PPoint's
versatility it is not a 100% all-sufficient solution. It is necessary to
know a little bit about supplementary software and accesory
coding/programming to perfect the program output and desired effects.

Best greetings to you, Steve.

A good message, that one.
