We have a few different machines with Powerpoint 2002 installed on
them for the graphics people. A few have 2002 SP1 and others have
2002 SP2. When a presentation is created on a 2002 SP2 machine it
works fine on that machine, but once the person with SP1 opens it to
make a non-related change it will break the highlighting features on
their embedded images. I can open the file from the network share on
my machine (powerpoint 2003) and it works fine, so can the user with
powerpoint 2002 SP2, but the laptops all have sp1.....i tried to find
the changes made from sp1 to sp2 but didn't see anything that
mentioned something like this. thanks!
 
I'm not sure what you mean by "the highlighting features on their embedded
images" ... can you describe this in more detail?

But more to the point, have you tried installing SP2 on one of the laptops
to see if it solves the problem? If so, is there some reason not to apply
the SP to all the laptops?

Granted, there are wider issues: what happens when your presntations play
back on other computers that you have no control over, for example.
