MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / March 2008saving format
how do i save a presentation in simple ppt. I am trying to turn in an assignment via email and I am pptx now and the instructor cannot open it and told me to do it in simple ppt? Does this mean I also have to redo the project, or just save it in a different way? Laci No, just open your existing presentation and use the Save As command and select PowerPoint 2003. This will save the file as a simple PPT file, but may have some minor changes. Some text with effects become graphics, some other minor change, but the whole thing should display for your professor.

I'm sure he receives them from other students on occasion as well. Here's a link to it: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=941B3470-3AE9-4AEE-8F43 -C6BB74CD1466&displaylang=en Note: you don't need to install this compat pack. You just need to save your file as the 97-2003 format in Save As (as Bill explained).

I'll use Save As only to save *another files* for my Prof uses. How? Just put a No. after my file name; example: rino_project2.ppt When my Prof installed as what Echo's suggested then I'll send my original file (without #2.ppt) or my Prof is happy viewing my original file he/she already got. Take care Laci and I know you can do it! Rino > how do i save a presentation in simple ppt.
