how do i import powerpoint 2003 into macromedia director?

[Guest]

Reading the help pages in macromedia director, it says ppt can only be
imported if its powerpoint 4. I have powerpoint 2003 (I'm not sure of the
diference). I'd be very gratfuil if someone could tell me how i can convert
ppt 2003 to ppt 4? or if there's another way?

Thank you, Martin

Macromedia's not too terribly serious about PPT support, are they? <g>
PowerPoint 4 went away at about the same time as Windows 95 arrived; it'll be
ten years soon.

PPT2003 will save to PowerPoint 95 format; you might want to give that a try
to see if Director buys it. It may not, since PPT95 is 32-bit to PPT4's
16-bit.

If no luck there, try to find someone with a copy of PowerPoint 2000. It can
save back to PPT4 format.
