PowerPoint 2007 (Binary Tags and Hyperlinks on Diagrams)

I am working to migrate a macro enabled PowerPoint presentation from 2003 to
2007. When I save the file as a pptm, I get the following message

Your presentation contains one or more of the following:
- Binary tags
- Hyperlinks on diagrams

These items cannot be saved in the PowerPoint 2007 XLM File Format. To
preserve these items save the presentation using the PowerPoint 97-2003 File
Formats.

1) If I save it as 97-2003, I lose the slide names that I've previously
changed
2) How do I find out where the binary tag or hyperlinks are located.

Thanks,
Barb Reinhardt

I've just run this code

Sub FindTags()
Dim mySlide As Slide
Dim myTag As Tags

For Each mySlide In ActivePresentation.Slides
Debug.Print mySlide.Name, mySlide.Tags.Count, mySlide.Hyperlinks.Count
Next mySlide

End Sub

And have found no tags and no hyperlinks. Now I'm really confused.

I've looked in the Pres.xml file and have found this

<p:tag name="___PPT2001" type="binary" datasize="68" dataoffset="0"/>
