Powerpoint Slides
Your problem most likely has nothing to do with size. MS Office 2007 uses a different default file type than Office 97, 2000 or 2003 which all used the same. Look at the file extension and it is probably .pptx. The new Excel extension is .xlsx and Word is .docx.
Open the powerpoint file, click on the office button and then click on save as and select the type of file you want. You will note choices of "Powerpoint Presentation (*.pptx)" and "Powerpoint 97-2003 Presention (*.ppt)". Choose the latter so others may open the files.
The default file saving type can be changed by clicking on the office button (BTY - nowe we now have a windows button on the lower left and an office button on the upper left). This opens the dialog box for save, save as, and other options. At the bottom of the dialog box is a button on the lower part of the frame that says Powerpoint Options. Click on it and then click on save. This opens a new dialog box with various options and one is the default file save type. The bar should currently say "Powerpoint Presentation" , so click the little triange to the right to bring up other choices. Click on "Powerpoint 97-2003" and then close all the dialog boxes. From now until you change it, the default file type will be the older file type. Occasionally when saving a file, you will get a warning that something you chose is incompatible with the older file types. In my Excell spreadsheets it is usually text color.
I have Office 2007 (Home & Student) on one machine. This version contains Excell, Word and Powerpoint, but you get a license good for three machines. I am a heavy useer of Excell (Accountant) and a moderate user of Word. I can get by in Powerpoint and use it for training, usually presentations from somewhere else that I have modified. I saw no use in putting Office 2000 on my Vista machine and knew that I had to learn the new format. I do like the new office except for the steep learning curve. I sometimes stuggle to find what I'm looking for in the new ribbon menus rather than the old pull down menus. But we either change or get left behind, and even though I am looking retirement in the face in a year or two, I do not intend to get left behind.
