PowerPoint2000 with transition errors using 2003 PP Producer

[Guest]

I have class work asking to to use MS Producer for PowerPoint 2003, which was
downloaded free from my college website. My system is using Office 2000 with
the PowerPoint 2000.
While trying to transistion slides in PowerPoint 2000 to the MS Producer
2003 I get the following error message "an error has occured in the script on
this page" Line 296, line 57 and line 51 are noted. It asks if I still wish
to keeping working and I answer yes.

The Producer program comes up but it doesn't allow me to transistion the
video files to the timeline, the powerpoint program will download but it
keeps crunching down hiding tiles. When syncornizing files the button for
"next slide" goes gray and will not cycle forward.

Is this PowerPoint 2000 conflicting with the 2003 Producer? If so, can I
download the 2003 PowerPoint and move on or do you think there is something
else amiss?

The Producer download from MS supports PowerPoint 2003 and PowerPoint 2002
(http://www.microsoft.com/office/powerpoint/producer/prodinfo/sysreq.mspx).

I am not sure what you downloaded from your college website -- there was a
previous version of Producer that may have supported 2000 -- but I doubt
many here have seen or used it.

If you actually downloaded Producer 2003 it definitely will not work with
PowerPoint 2000 and is likely the cause of your woe (though I don't really
know if your symptoms are expected).
