How to save a 2000 Presentation as PPT2003?

[Zimmer]

I have some PowerPoint 2000-users who have to deliver PPT to a webprogram in
PPT 2003.

How can they in an easy way save their presentation as PPT 2003?

It appears that MS provides a free converter for download. See:

I have never used it, I just found it in a search of MS.

The file format for PPT 2000 is the same as for 2003. So just have them save
normally.

Technologically seen I am not quite sure. Do you have any links that
documentates that they are the same?

I'm not going to go look for links that document this, sorry.

You're welcome do download converter packs and such if you want, but they're
not necessary.

Oh, I guess you could look at the File | Save as option. There's one for PPT
97-2003 AND 95. That's because PPT 95 has a different file format than PPT
97, 2000, 2002 and 2003. So you need that option if you want PPT 95 users to
be able to open your file. Otherwise, the PPT file is just saved as a
presentation, which is openable by 97, 2000, 2002 and 2003 -- because they
all use the same file format.
