All I can say is give OpenOffice Impress a try. I believe it has better MS Office backwards compatibility than MS Office does. Also, it's a free download from www.openoffice.org, so it won't cost you anything to try. You can have both OpenOffice and Microsoft Office on the same computer, if you wish. OpenOffice.org can open the new Office 2007 files and Microsoft has promised a service pack for Office 2007 that will also allow you to open native OpenOffice (ODF) files in Microsoft Office. -- Use OpenOffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
