The most current version of PPT on the PC is PPT 2003.

Files created in PPT 2007 will have an extension that PPT 2003 and earlier
won't recognize (PPTX). Microsoft has committed to creating patches that add
converters that will let PPT 2003 and 2002 (and, I think 2000 also) open PPT
2007 files. (Or the patches/converters may be available already, I can't
remember.)

Alternatively, in PPT 2007, you can save your file as a PPT 97-2003 format,
which the earlier versions of PPT will be able to open.

there is indeed a preview of the compatibility packs available.)
