I develop animated PPT presentations and post them to our corporate intranet. When I migrated to PPT2003 (ahead of the rest of the company), the animations in my new presentations were no longer viewed by my colleagues. That's when I discovered the "MSORUN" problem referenced in http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...4a-24c7-40b2-8783-d80ada33cff8&displaylang=en

Due to our environment, it is unacceptable to ask our viewer base to install this module

My question is, "is there no workaround that would allow me to continue to use PPT2003 for development, or must I go back to PPT2000". Thanks.
 
Go to Tools > Options > Edit and disable the three items at the bottom of
the dialog. That will prevent you from accidentally using any feature that
is not supported in PowerPoint 2000. When the rest of the company is
updated to PowerPoint 2003 you can re-enable the items by unchecking them.

In your comments, you said to turn off those features in my copy of PPT2003 (Tools, Options, Edit, Disable new features), and I did so. Unfortunately, when I did so and published my content to the web, it still requires MSORUN. When it comes to custom animation, the PPT2003 interface did take on the appearance of PPT2000, but evidently it generates PPT2002-2003 style code even when the new features are disabled

If you have a chance, could you verify my observation, or if I am missing something, I'd sure like to know what it is

Thanks for your thoughts
 
[CRITICAL UPDATE - Anyone using Office 2003 should install the critical
update as soon as possible. From PowerPoint, choose "Help -> Check for
Updates".]
[TOP ISSUE - Are you having difficulty opening presentations in PPT 2003
that you just created in PPT 2003? -
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=329820]

Hello,

There is no way to save Web pages from PowerPoint 2003 (using the "File ->
Save as web page" command) in such a way that when opened in Internet
Explorer it won't check to see if you already have MSORUN.dll installed
and, if not, prompt you to download and install it. Instead you would have
to resort to some other tools and workflow to create web pages from
PowerPoint slides.

If you (or anyone else reading this message) think that it's important that
PowerPoint provide this kind of functionality (without having to resort to
add-ins), don't forget to send your feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS, please) to
Microsoft at:

http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp

It's VERY important that, for EACH wish, you describe in detail, WHY it is
important TO YOU that your product suggestion be implemented. A good wish
submssion includes WHAT scenario, work-flow, or end-result is blocked by
not having a specific feature, HOW MUCH time and effort ($$$) is spent
working around a specific limitation of the current product, etc. Remember
that Microsoft receives THOUSANDS of product suggestions every day and we
read each one but, in any given product development cycle, there are ONLY
sufficient resources to address the ones that are MOST IMPORTANT to our
customers so take the extra time to state your case as CLEARLY and
COMPLETELY as possible so that we can FEEL YOUR PAIN.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions).
