I am unable to read certain slides or notes made in PP2000 in PP20

[Guest]

I am updating a presentation. The original was made in PP2000 and I am now
using 2003. Some slides in the presentation show (slides with bullet points)
along with their notes. Some graphic slides show.
PROBLEM...Other slides (with graphics) don't show (apart fom the master
template design) nor do their notes. I have tried Notes pages, Format, Note
layout and the slide is checked.
Can anyone advise?

Make sure that you 2003 has all the SP's

Michael, first of all thank you very much for this. By chance someone else
mentioned to me after the post about a problem with not having SP 2. They
have had a number of similar incidents with clients and have found slides
show on 2003 with SP2 but not on 2003 without SP2.
However, I sent my presentation to them and though they have the latest SP2
the slides did not show up on their machine either. My machine was bought in
2005 so should be up to date.
So now I am stuck! If anyone else has an idea I would be grateful for it.

Just checked my machine and it has SP2 Build 2600

Michael is referring to SP1 for Office, not SP2 for Windows XP. You need to
open PowerPoint, go to Help--> Check for Updates, and follow the links on
the web page. No version of Office (that I know of) ships with the service
packs pre-installed - though it would be a nice thing

Brilliant thanks Kathy. I installed SP1 and it worked. Seems odd though that
2003 should have shipped with such a major bug.
Many thanks again.
