ppt viewer will not handle inserted swf files?

I have a presentation that was created with Office 2003. I have since
changed to Office 2007. Certain animations prepared using earliuer
versions of Office do not replicate (read jerly and non-smooth
entrances) identically when opened in Office 2007. I must add at this
point that there are liked/embedded swf files in this presentation

So i downloaded the ppt viewer and began using it to open my Office
2003 files. However, i notice that my swf files do not play when i
use the viewer to open office files

Is this how it works or is there sommething wrong with the flash plug-
in on my laptop?
 
SWF requires the flash activex control and the PPT viewer doesn't support
any controls at all.

Hi

To try to sort out the 'jerkiness' I would: update video card driver, update
printer driver (I know it sounds crazy but office 2007 is very dependant on
the local printer driver) and play with hardware graphics acceleration.

For an updated video card driver visit your video card manufacturer's
website

And try turning it on & off in PowerPoint
Slide Show -> Set Up Show -> untick 'Use hardware graphics acceleration'

As Austin said, the viewer doesn't support swfs
