Weird problem we have here at work. People are being upgraded on their laptops from Win2k/Office 2k to XP Pro/Office 2003. However when they try to open files that were previously fine in 2000 with 2003 they get an error message saying that part of the file is missing, however it can be opened first time in the older version. Anyone come across this?? our people here are tearing their hair out at the thought of not being able to use their old presentations First step is make sure all updates have been applied. You should have SP2 (service pack 2) installed. > Weird problem we have here at work. People are being upgraded on their > laptops from Win2k/Office 2k to XP Pro/Office 2003.

It was broken out of the box. You must apply the service packs to Office. Once you have done that, your problem will be solved. --David  SignatureDavid M.

You need to get *Office* up to SP2. On individual computers, you can choose Help, Check for Updates and follow the bouncing ball from there. That'll probably take you to SP3, just released recently. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ |
