Hi there!

I have created a PowerPoint presentation at work with XP. The problem: the people that are going to be displaying this presentation are using 2000. Once the XP presentation is viewed on 2000 it looses alot of it's appeal (lacking animations, sounds, graphics, etc). Unfortunately it's not a matter of upgrading their computers to Office XP (asked and was shot down.) I guess what I need to know is...is it possible to show the presentation in 2000, but not lose the look of the XP presentation? I've tried the save as a .pps option and that still displays the same as it would running it directly from powerpoint. I've tried the save as a html, but that bogs down the system. I've tried the pack and go, but that displays as 2000 as well...would it help if I downloaded the viewer?? Any suggestions you may have would be wonderful as I don't really feel up to reworking this presentation (once again) to give it the appeal that my "superiors" feel is required!!!
 
If the users download and install the PowerPoint 2003 Viewer, the features
of PowerPoint 2002 will be preserved.

That is the logical solution for
viewing the presentation. However, if the people you are talking about are
going to actually present the presentation to audiences, it may not fully
meet their needs. I guess we would need to know more.
