MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / February 2008Retain 2007 Layouts when Saved as XP?
I wonder if anyone has some advice? I am putting together a template for use in PP 2007, and have customised the layouts to suit our needs - but there are still some people using XP, and when I save the file down to XP the layouts are not available? I would really like this to work - Any advice would be gratefully received. Wendy XP is an operating system. I'm running XP with 2007, and am not experiencing any problems other than my own finger problems. <g> Now if you really mean people are still using PowerPoint 2003, then there could be problems.

Wendy Hi Michael, thanks for the reply - we are still running XP operating System and Office XP in many of our offices :-) Staff are reluctant to leave the comfort zone of Office XP - but I am working on converting them!

I would really like this to work - Any advice would be > gratefully received Hi Again, just had a go at doing this. I installed the patch on an XP OS and Office XP machine then opened my PP file - it opened just fine but the layouts that I have created in 2007 are not in the list of available layouts. They are however still in the master slide view!! will need to work on this a while longer I think! Thanks for the idea tho, had high hopes when I read your post.

Do you mean when you save as PPT 97-2003? I expect so, but want to be clear. >I would really like this to work Since PPT versions previous to 2007 don't allow you to customize layouts, I doubt that it can be made to work. It might be better to think in terms of multiple masters rather than a master with multiple layouts. Earlier versions DO support multiple masters. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================
