Hello, Can anyone tell me how to convert some ppt file I have from
1995 -- not sure which version this is. I am running OSX 10.4.8 and
Powerpoint X for Mac, Release 1. Need to dust off my old Internet
presentation to explain the Internet to a class of 7 year olds.

Thanks.

I suspect that current versions of PPT won't open your file.
Of course, the easiest/fastest way to find out is to try it. ;-)

If it won't fly, let us know how big the file is and whether you can post it
someplace that's easily accessible. Perhaps someone has an older copy of PPT
still installed and can try it there.
