Help | About PowerPoint. If your converting a PowerPoint Presentation to images,
then all versions of MSOffice AFAIK, regardless of version will accept .jpg
images.

thanks for the help.
But i want to
- programmatically check the version of the power point installed on the
system.
- and then call functions to convert the entire presentation into set of
images

Need help on above.

A little out of my league. Hopefully one of the programming wizards will step in
and save the day.

You didn't mention the "programatically" part in your first post. That's
always a good idea. ;-)

I'd also guess you're not using VB or VBA to do this. It's a good idea also to
mention the language you're working with.

In VB/VBA, the version of PowerPoint doesn't matter. You simply need to call
the Slide.Export method and specify the desired output file name, filter (ie,
"JPG", "GIF", etc.) and horizontal and vertical sizes (in pixels).

Just in case:
Dim pptApp As PowerPoint.Application
Set pptApp = New PowerPoint.Application

' Set the powerpoint version being used.
getPPTVersion = pptApp.Version
