Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel

A presentation created in Powerpoint 2008 opens perfectly well in Powerpoint 04 and even 03 on a PC, but none of the content that was animated shows up. The slides are totally blank except for the image from the Master Slide. Is it the animation that's not translating?

Hi,

Be sure that both PowerPoint 2008 is updated before saving the file, and
that PowerPoint 2003 is updated before you attempt to open and play the
presentation.

Thanks.
