MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / March 2008Can I work in 2003 format if using Vista
I'm trying to write complete directions for my students. My home computer uses 2007 with Vista, and the school computers are only 2003. Is there a way to work in 2003? Bag Lady, You can save it as a Powerpoint 97-2003 file if you want. Or install the compatability pack for Office 2003 on the schools computers, if that is an option. So that they can easily read the new format. The new effects you can apply in 2007 like 3D and others will be shown in version 2003 but converted to pictures. So I would suggest keeping it simple as they won't be able to edit it. Luc Sanders MVP - PowerPoint > I'm trying to write complete directions for my students.

BAG Lady If you are trying to make ppt 2007 emulate what ppt 2003 'looks like' - so you can write your directions, then you are out of look.

If you want multiple versions of Office, you can generally do that as well, but you want to install oldest first; that'd mean uninstalling 2007, installing 2003, then reinstalling 2007. If you don't have install CDs for both Office versions, I don't know that I'd try this. If the question was "Can I make 2007 act like 2003" then the other folks have pretty much covered that one. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================
