MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / September 2006Saving presentations in PowerPt2003
When I save slides that I have just created in PowerPt2003, the following message comes up: You are saving most recently updated ppt. in a format compatible with PowerPoint 95 and later. Saving a file in this format will remove any restrictions on this document and may significantly increase the size of the file. Do you want to save the presentation in this format? What does this mean--in what format should I be saving it in?  SignatureJeannie When you save as choose the "save as type" in the drop down menu. Unnless you have a special reason always choose the first option "presentation (*.ppt)" or "powerpoint show (*.pps)" if you want a self running show. Never use powerpoint 95 OR powerpoint 97- 2003 & 95 unless you know that someone will be using 95 as you will get giant files. .ppt is fine for 97 onwards SignatureDid that answer the question / help? _____________________________ John Wilson Microsoft Certified Office Specialist http://www.technologytrish.co.uk/ppttipshome.html > When I save slides that I have just created in PowerPt2003, the following > message comes up: [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > What does this mean--in what format should I be saving it in?

In addition to John's advice, you may have the default save set to "PPT 97-2003 & 95" or "95 Presentation." Change this default setting in Tools|Options on the Save tab under "Save PPT files as." You want just plain ol' "PowerPoint Presentation" selected there.

Do you want to save the presentation in this format? What John said. But if this is happening automatically w/o your deliberately saving as an older file type, do this: From the main menu, choose Tools, Options In the Options dialog, click on the Save tab On the Save tab look at the option chosen for "Save Powerpoint files as:" It should say "PowerPoint Presentation" My guess is that it's set to something else. You'll want to change that. I'd then open and resave any files you've already saved the old way. Among other things, they'll probably get much smaller, especially if you have any images in 'em. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================
