I am doing a power point for school and I submitted it to my instructor but
she can not get it to open. The power point has to be in a ppt for mat and I
dont know how to get it in that format. Currently it is in pptx. I really
need help with this.
Thanks
Brandi

Brandi,
You will need to do a Save as of your pptx file and save it as the 97-2003
format. This will convert it to a file that your instructor can read on her
Mac.

still be able to open it.

If you saved it as 97-2003, it should have a PPT extension, not PPTX. What
steps did you use to save as 97-2003 format?
