If I save to other format (Powerpoint 97-2000 presentation) then it work but the size of file is very large! You make me happy if You can help me! Thank and sorry for i waste your time! Regards, Robert Bona What happens if you just select save, and not Save As? By default it should save it as a presentation which can be opened in all versions of PowerPoint with the exception of 95  SignatureMichael Koerner MS MVP - PowerPoint > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > Regards, > Robert Bona The problem is same when I click on "save"! Sometimes it works, but it usually doesn't! If I just save as a presentaion I can't close the PPT,only from Taskmanager and makes an unusable .tmp file! I think the presentation made in PPT 2003 and I downloaded SP3 for Office 2000, but it didn't help me! So if You have another idea I gladly wait for and thanks for your help!

I would suggest that you do a complete system clean up, in including a disk defrag, then try you PowerPoint presentation again. Have you considered uninstalling and reinstalling PowerPoint?

Sometimes slides get corrupted. Since you've been able to isolate at least some of the problems to specific slides (nice detective work, by the way) here are a few ideas: Make a copy of your presentation file and work on that. Go into slide sorter view. Select a "problem" slide and press Ctrl+C Press Ctrl+V to paste in a new copy of the slide Delete the original slide Now try printing. Also, open the presentation in 2003 and try "round-tripping to html" HTML "Round-tripping" to repair corruption http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00526.htm After doing that, see if the presentation will behave in 2000. If you can't successfully save the presentation to HTML from 2003, it's almost a sure thing that some of the slides are corrupted. If copy/pasting them doesn't help, it may be simplest to re-create them and delete the originals. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ |
