Send a PPT2002 file to users of older versions of PPT ??

[ZR]

I created a presentation ion PPT 2002 which includes some animation.

Want to send it to co-workes who use older versions of PPT. Iam told
that I can download a Viewer and send as part of with my 2002 file.
(these guys do not want to download any viewers etc, The whole thing
should be transparent to them).

Any detialed help - please ...?

Thank you.

ZR,

Perhaps the best option, if you simply want them to view the presentation,
is to make an autorun CD:

One workaround would be to redesign the presentation so it only uses features
supported in the older version of PPT that they use. You'd want to know what
version that is, or assume lowest common denominator and shoot for '97.

But first I'd look here and see if Geetesh's solution works for you:
