MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / November 20052003 Backward Compatibility (Animation)
I developed a presentation in 2003 which does not work properly in 2000. There are 2 issues pertaining to Custom Animation. 1. I have a text box with 4 bullet points. The first appears with the slide title and the following 3 appear on-click. This effect (in 2000) puts all 4 items on the screen at once or all four use on-click. Can I duplicate the 2003 effect without creating 4 individual text boxes? 2. With each bullet point, I have a photo appear on the screen. When the second bullet appears, the first picture disappears and a new picture appears. Works fine in 2003 - not in 2000. Any way to synchronize the text and the picture (text 1 & picture 1) so it will work in 2000? Help...please peter One thing you can do to avoid the incompatiblity: While in PPT 2003, go to Tools > Options. Click the Edit tab. Under disable new features, select "new animation effects." Now when designing in 2003 you'll be fully aware of the limits of 2002. Sandy > I developed a presentation in 2003 which does not work properly in > 2000.

Depends on the animation itself and the other animation settings that have been applied, though. Regarding #2, PPT 2000 doesn't have exit effects, nor does it have simultaneous animation. You'd have to group the appropriate items to have them come in at the same time (which would mean individual textboxes). You'll also need to animate in a background-colored box to cover the first picture and fake the exit. You can group that box with the other items if you want, which will help cut down on the necessary number of mouseclicks.
