My daughter did a ppt. presentation on 2007 version, her school only has 2003
version. Is there any way for her to open this on the school computer?
 
Just to add to the information about the compatability pack...

It's not well documented on the compat pack download page, but in order for
the compat pack to actually work, the computer must have ALL "high priority"
Windows updates installed as well. This can be a hassle. (At least, it was
for me!)

So I'd suggest in your daughter's situation, it would probably be best to
save as 97-2003 format at home. Just to be on the safe side, you know?

Also, be aware that if she used some of the new features (such as glows or
reflections), those objects will not be editable when the file is opened in
PPT 2003. It doesn't matter if the file is saved as 97-2003 or if the 2007
format is opened in 2003 (because the compat pack is installed) -- they
still won't be editable in 2003 because it doesn't support those features.
(That's why they're "new features," LOL.)
 
Hi,

Hmmm. I would imagine that people on a corporate system where you need
administrator privileges to install updates could come to grief on this one.

That's what I was thinking, and, honestly, that was the only reason I wanted
to mention it.
