why am I losing slides when I open a powerpoint 2000 file in 2003

[Guest]

Two slides both tahoma font basic text once opened in pp 2003 can only see
one the other is blank.

Have tried updates.

By "have tried updates," do you mean you succeeded at updates or just
tried? (That sounded really rude, and it's not meant to be). I have seen
others who did not sucessfully update but thought they had and thought the
updates hadn't solved the problem. When they really updated, the problem
was really solved. Go to the Help menu and choose About Microsoft
PowerPoint. Look at the version number. Does it end with SP1 or SP2? If
not, you did not successfully update. You might need to download and run
the update manually.

To be sure, have you specifically done this?

Start PPT 2003
Choose Help, Check for Updates
Allow it to apply any recommended updates
