Are you saving it as a 97-2003 presentation from your 2007 version at =
home? Or are you trying to open the 2007 "presentation.pptx" on your =
2003 machine at work. To start with, make sure that the 2003 version has =
been updated with the compatibility package see here =

Hi Bill. I've been trying for three days to do exactly what you =
suggest=20
below. I thought it would be a "no brainer." Have a new PC running =
Vista at=20
home; running XP at the office. I designed a PPT presentation for one =
of our=20
loan originators at home, but now need to print it out here at the =
office as=20
a handout.
Actually, it doesn't matter how I want to use it. My point is that =
when I=20
open my *.pptx doc, go to Save As, name it *.ppt, it hesitates as if =
it's=20
going to work, and then a box comes up that says, "press OK to cancel=20
printing" or something like that. I'm at work now so forget the exact=20
dialogue.
I can print one at home and bring in here to copy, but the quality =
isn't as=20
good. I read the other message re a D/L that's available, and I will =
try=20
that. However, I'd still like to know why that feature isn't working =
on my=20
PC. Any ideas?
Thanks for your help.
