Replacing Powerpoint 97 SR-2 on M/S Office 97 Pro Edit on Win XP
I dread asking this in case someone descends on me like a ton of bricks and says the answer is in the posts already! - but i I have never used the PP 97 which came with the MS Office 97 Pro Edit I have installed on my computer which uses Win XP with Ser Pack 3. I am about to embark on using PowerPoint for the FIRST time and wonder whether I should, before anything else, acquire a more up to date version first - and one that will work problem free with my XP - which version should I go for and will it, on loading, overwrite and replace the Powpoint I already have and still operate with the rest of the Office 97 Pro Edit components I have installed? Thanks , Richard H.

No one should jump on you for this question. PPT '97 should work problem free on XP SP3. While there are newer editions of PowerPoint (PPT) available since you already have the '97 edition I would start with that version unless you have the great desire to learn the Ribbon user interface for Office 2007 or the again-changed ribbon in Office 2010 or absolutely need one of the new features in the later versions (remember that PPT 2000, 2002 and 2003 are no longer generally available as they are no longer produced by Microsoft. You would have to purchase a used or new version that has been "left on the shelf.") PPT 97 will create almost any presentation that you would want to create at a learner level. It's presentation files will run on any newer version of PPT or PPT viewer. I have access to all versions of PPT from 97 up to and including 2010 beta. If I am creating a simple presentation, I start up my PPT 97 and create it. If I need really fancy work or animation effects that PPT 97 doesn't have then I use a later version of the software. Should you purchase a newer version of either just PPT or an office suite (which includes Word, Excel, etc.) then you have the option of overwriting the 97 programs or leave them and install side-by-side with 97 and use one or the other programs. You could, of course, just install PPT '07 and either overwrite PPT '97 or a side-by-side install without touching any of your '97 programs. Hope this helps. Anything else please free to post back.

If you don't need to stay compatible with PPT 2007 users, ignore everything below this line: =============================== The only caveat I'd add is that if you need to exchange presentations with PPT 2007 users and both sides need to edit the work, I'd seriously consider getting 2007. Moving the presentations back and forth can cause messes. Creating presentations in 97 and playing them back in 2007 should be fine. If you get presentations from PPT 2007 users, you'll have to get them to save the presentations to PowerPoint 97-2003 format. If you have PPT 2000 and up you can download a free converter that enables you to open the PPT 2007 files, but the converter won't install into PPT 97. >but i I have never used the PP 97 > which came with the MS Office 97 Pro Edit I have installed on my computer > which uses Win XP with Ser Pack 3. > I am about to embark on using PowerPoint for the FIRST time and wonder > whether I should, before anything else, acquire a more up to date version > first - and one that will work problem free with my XP - which version should > I go for and will it, on loading, overwrite and replace the Powpoint I > already have and still operate with the rest of the Office 97 Pro Edit > components I have installed? > Thanks , Richard H.

Excel drop down lists #2
Hi, I am trying to create two drop down lists. The first is a straight forward selection of 6 choices. I would like to be able to have a list in the next column which is dependent on the choice from the first list. For example from a choice of "A, B, C, D" in the first list, if i choose "A" I would like to have a drop down list choice of "9, 8, 7" in the second column. But if i choose "C" in the first list, then I would like to have a drop down list choice of "6, 5, 4" in the second column. Is this possible? And if so, could you please tel...
Problem installing Office 2007 Enterprise Edition
I have downloaded this three times. (Four actually, but it didn't work the first time) I have tried to install several times. It goes through the process, has me put in my Product Key, but when it gets to a certain point I get the message that there was an error during setup. There are no details about what the error is. I have a trial edition of Office 2007 that I cannot delete through Add/Remove Programs. I have deleted Office 2003 (also a trial version, I believe) I read another user's post that said my IT department at work should support this, but I haven'...
Outlook 2003
I used to use Outlook Express and was able to modify an email message's HTML source code. I can't seem to find a way to do that using Outlook. Does anyone know how that can be done? Am I missing a setting somewhere? Thank you, Tracy Outlook doesn't have a source editor. You can edit it in another html editor and paste into OL. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours Coauthor, OneNote 2003 for Windows (Visual QuickStart Guide) Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstic...
Preventing auto-formatting when Replacing
Say I have a cell that contains LED2/14 The cell is formatted as Text. If I use Ctrl-H to replace LED with nothing, Excel insists on reformatting the remaining 2/14 as a date (i.e. 14-Feb). Is there any way to prevent this infuriating behavior?

Multiple Taxes (i.e. 2 Diff States)
RMS V1.3flat I am trying to establish two different Item tax structures for two different tax authorities, let's say one for MN and one for ND state. Preface: I am giving this as a real HL example. Assigning taxes on a per customer basis will not work as a solution to this issue. Please do not take it literally that I need to assign per customer based on Billing or Shipping State. Example: MN Tax has: MN State, MN City and MN County ND Tax has: ND State and ND County I have created all tax authorities in Sales Tax, and then bundled appropriately in Item Tax (one item tax = MN St...

Possible issue when migrating Office to a new system?
About a week ago, my office received two brand new Quad-core MacPros. Gorgeous pieces of machinery. I, being one of the only ones in our office with any sort of professional Mac IT background (mainly just setting up new machines for users and transferring their old files to their new computer through a backup server) my boss allowed me to set up her new computer. This is when the fun began. I successfully partitioned and reinstalled Tiger onto the computer, and installed all the necessary software. When it came time to transfer the files, I used Apple's Migration Assistant, and copied ove...
SVG problems in Visio 2003 SP 2
Hi! I tried to create a new document (metrics format) and added a few different shapes (also metric). I saved the document in SVG format and closed the document. I then tried to open the document again, but got a lot of errors, and some of my shapes could be located at the lower left corner, but a bit misshaped. Also when opening the document i IE it is incorrect. (I detected this behavior with a mush more complex drawing, and that was totally messed up after saved as SVG.) Is this a known error, or is there something wrong with my local setup? Best Regards, Andreas Lundgren Log file: Op...
