When viewing a powerpoint presentation, I can view the slides individually
and flip through the pages, but when I click on the handout format to put
multiple slides on one sheet, they are all blank. No info. transfers. I
tried to download to a file on my computer then open, but it does the same
thing.

The presentation I am viewing was created using powerpoint 95-2003. I didnt
think that should be a problem. Any suggestions on what might be wrong?

Any knowledge on this subject would be appreciated.

Meaning that it was edited in all of those versions at one time or another?
That could well be the cause of various problems with handouts/notes pages.

Two things to try:

- Roundtrip the presentation to HTML and back. See this for instructions:

HTML "Round-tripping" to repair corruption

- Re-apply the handout master. Choose View, Master, Handout master then choose
Format, Handout Master Layout. If any of the items on the resulting dialog box
don't have checkmarks, add the checkmark and click OK.
