Will I be able to use PowerPoint '07 with a computer that has PowerPoint '03?
I ask because I can't decide on which PowerPoint to buy for college to do
presentations. The computers at college only have PowerPoint '03. I could
save the PowerPoint presentation ('07) I create at home on a CD, will the CD
be compatible with the comptuer at college that has PowerPoint '03?

Wendy,
The best thing to do would be to save your presentation in het ppt 97-2003
format at home, that way everything will work on your computer at school. To
do that click on the listarrow in the save as dialog and choose that format.

Also check this:

to test if your presentation in 2007 will be compatible with an earlier
version.
Consider downloading the compatibility pack so that you can open, edit, and
save presentations in the new file formats on the school computer.
