MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / March 2008Opening Version 4.0 files
I have an old powerpoint presentatin in version 4.0 and can't find a ready or converter for it. Any suggestions? fcohen@frankcohen.com Frank Cohen I don't think your going to have much success. If I remember correctly version 4 only ran on Widows 3X and Win95.  SignatureMichael Koerner MS MVP - PowerPoint I have an old powerpoint presentatin in version 4.0 and can't find a ready or converter for it. Any suggestions? fcohen@frankcohen.com Frank Cohen I believe that is correct. I just didn't know if MS had some archived reader that would work for these files. I have one that I would like to open and convert to a later version or even a .pdf file. Any thoughts? > I don't think your going to have much success.

If you want to send me a file, I'm happy to try it in 2000, but I no longer have 95 installed. (I did until just last year, though, go figure.)

(As a matter of fact, I will be doing that tommorrow in a step to convert a file to PPT 3 version! It's Opera season again. Hopefully they will upgrade to PPT 2007 this summer, a year after I showed how PPT 2007 and an add-in would be way more flexible than continuing to support 2 obsolete operating systems.) I don't have PPT 2003 installed to try. I'm pretty sure it doesn't open ver 3 files but I don't recall trying ver 4 files.
