[Eshita The Techie]

It is not always easy to prepare all possible combination of software and computers. What to say and sometimes there is required to present a presentation and can not use a separate notebook, which must also be set to all possible situations - actually, regardless of whether the presentation with PowerPoint 2007 or another version was created. The first error may well be the assumption that is installed on any Windows computer and PowerPoint. In the current case, it was indeed PowerPoint 2003, because of a restrictive firewall but did not download and install the Compatibility Pack is possible. File in the new file format could not be opened. Is there any solutions for such things..??

In the simplest case, it would be possible to save the presentation even more at home in a format that can be opened on the external computer. In the case of all cases saving them as PDF-file is recommended. If all else fails and the presenter suddenly on a foreign computer takes to run under Linux, then at least this version works reliably. This is the add-in for Microsoft Office 2007 to save in PDF format is required. Both variants share on the remote computer that is ahead of a program that can either open the presentation or a PDF file. The safest way to play a presentation on another Windows machine (Windows 2000) but offers PowerPoint 2007 itself for transmission to the external computer PowerPoint can burn 2007, either a CD or necessary for playing files on a USB Stick transferred. The key: To play on the remote computer is no installation required, there is no power point required and compatibility problems even appear. PowerPoint also provides for the need to ensure that linked files are available: The originals will be copied and modified the links in the presentation accordingly.

The procedure is identical to the steps that would be required on the remote machine. If a CD is burned, then this should be reported immediately after the insertion point and the selection of the presentations - if the settings have been selected properly.
