Am I understanding this correctly? PP Viewer 2003 will show animated objects, but the older versions
do not. If the 2003 Viewer is packed with a PPS it CANNOT be read on a computer that is using
Win 98 (not 98 SE) Win 98 can run PPS that has used the older Viewer version, but it does not animate.

If this is all correct then I'm snake bit trying to get a presentation to older citizens that still use Win 98!

Pete,

The older viewer will show animations, but not the newer type ones such as
path, exit and emphasis that came in for PowerPoint 2002 onwards. You can
build a presentation in 2002 or 2003, and turn off the newer animations so
that they will run in the old viewer. Tools| Options| Edit| Disable New
Animation Effects.

The older viewer will show animated objects, but can only display animations
supported in versions of PPT through 2000. You'd need to restrict yourself to using
just those; see Tools, Options, Edit tab, "Disable new features" if you need to
develop backward-compatible shows in PPT 2002/2003
 
Steve and Glen,

Thank both of you for the information on how to disable newer animations.
