Using 2007pp on machines running 2003pp

[Mars]

I would like to upgrade my personal computer to 2007pp but I need to know
first if the presentations that I could create with it can be shown on a
computer that only has 2003pp installed. As it stands now, I must place a
copy of my pp presentation onto a flashdrive and then open it up on the
"common computer" that has 2003 installed.

In PPT2007, you get option to save powerpoint for versions 97 - 2003. So you
can save the versions exclusive for 2007 or you can save so that earlier
versions also support it. We can check the compatibility too using PPT 2007.
We can check whether any features you use is not compatible in earlier
versions...

You have the opportunity to save your presentations as backward compatible. The same way that you now have in 2003

In addition to the "backsave" option the others mentioned that's available
in 2007, you may want to look into installing the compatibility pack on the
2003 machine. This pack lets 2003 open 2007-format files. Get it here:

Please note that you must also install all high-priority Windows updates in
order for the compat pack to work.
