Reverse compatibility - PPT 2003 - 2000

[Rob]

A .ppt presentation developed in PPT 2000 is losing
images and build effects when I open it in PPT 2003. The
slide shows up as completely blank. No images, no
nothing. I can open the presentation and see the slide
in PPT 97 without issue. Is this a know compatibility
issue and does anyone know the fix?

Thanks for your help.

Ran into this problem a few weeks ago. Problem was PPT 2003. Check that PPT
2003 has its service packs installed. Let us know if installing service
packs remedies problem.
