I want to write a 1995 and a 2005 version of a PP Show

My colleague has created a PP Presentation and has saved it as '1995' and
'2005'. She wants me to save both as a 'show' and burn them to disk to send
to people. (Some have old computers). When I save both as a 'show' the 1995
file doesn't translate - there are things missing. I'm at a total loss. My
collegue is on leave...please help! Any ideas appreciated.

There will be things missing in a PPT 95 file that was actually created in
PPT 2003. I mean, think about it -- there's 8 years (not to mention 4 newer
versions of the software itself) between software releases.

Why not just include a PPT Viewer on the CD so that people with older
systems can view the presentation? You could even include both the PPT 97
Viewer and the 2003 Viewer. The 97 Viewer won't show new animations and
transitions and things that are present in PPT 2003, but it will install on
most Windows systems. The newer 2003 Viewer, which shows the new animations,
transitions, transparencies, etc., won't install on, for instance, Windows
98.

Or consider converting to HTML and running in a browser. Or maybe use
Producer.
