If you have the full version of PowerPoint you can edit the slide, only if
the version of PowerPoint is the same version or later than the slide you
received.

Michael, your response is not exactly correct. Any file created in PPT '97
to 2003 can be edited in any version of PPT '97 to 2003. Granted some
features won't work in earlier versions but if the PPT file is just basic
slides without a lot of fancy features from the newer versions of PPT they
will edit flawlessly. I have many times edited PPT files created in '03 &
'07 (saved as '97-03 format) with '97 or '00 PPT without issues.
 
Sorry, should have added the point about effects not being seen if opened in
earlier versions. My bad.
