814491	2009-09-27 20:30:00	That would by why. Your friend should install this (www.microsoft.com), cause this won't be the last time he's gonna have this problem. Make sure the fine print lower down on the page is read before installing. Otherwise you can just re-save the file as .ppt instead of .pptx and send him that instead, but that will only work this time, he needs to have the converter pack installed to be able to open files created by Office 2007.	wratterus (105)

Thanks for that Ratii. Have sent that M/S change. How do you chnge from pptx to ppt?	Cicero (40)
814493	2009-09-27 21:16:00	You'd open the file choose save as, and just below where you can type in the file name, there's a drop down box. Change the file type from .pptx to .ppt.	wratterus (105)
