| 193160 | 2003-11-19 12:44:00 | Hi, all, I made this powerpoint show with Office XP, and I wanted to send it to a friend as her birthday gift. However, after finishing making it, I realized that she only had Office 2000 installed... now I've gone through a lot of work in order to make this show, and I know that some of the animations in XP are not supported in 2000 (i tested it on another friend's machine who also had Office 2000, everything just went bizarre!).... but I don't want to waste all the work I've done!!!... So my question is, is there any way to display the show as it was originally intended without having to install office XP on my friend's com? (she's in a different country)... like a pps viewer or something? or what not? Thanks heaps.. ==James== |

| 193163 | 2003-11-19 19:36:00 | Use the "pack and go" option under File - That should create a run-time application and file that will not require ppt on the PC at the other end. Therefore the version will not be an issue. Try it to confirm that the attributes are retained. |

| 193164 | 2003-11-19 20:49:00 | Definitely the pack and go option like godfather said. It is the only reliable way of transporting a powerpoint file as it is, they seem to like to use absolute links instead of relative links. Just be sure to include the viewer into the mix. |
