Powerpoint presentations on older comps
Does anyone know how to display a presentation created in Powerpoint XP on an older computer running say, Windows 98? I have already tried using the viewer but it couldn't play my animations, and I have alsodownloaded the Microsoft runtime files and played the page as a website but it still wont play correctly! Has microsoft released a new viewer?

There is no new viewer - yet. The available viewer mimics PP98, so you lose 2000/2002 animations.

Hi,

My suggestion would be to convert your presentation files as .pps(powerpoint show) files,which can be done as follows.

File->Save as->(in the file type choose .pps file extension).
While opening the file in Win98 it will automatically open without the need for a powerpoint,

I hope this is what u r looking for.
thanks
raj
