WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that
may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot
guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor
can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
For information about how to edit the registry, view the "Changing Keys And
Values" Help topic in Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) or the "Add and Delete
Information in the Registry" and "Edit Registry Data" Help topics
in Regedt32.exe. Note that you should back up the registry before you edit it.
If you are running Windows NT, you should also update your Emergency Repair
Disk (ERD).
PowerPoint 7.0 uses a key in HKEY_CURRENT_USER to find the translator
for converting files from previous versions. If a different user logs
on, that user has a different HKEY_CURRENT_USER profile and, therefore,
that user doesn't have the correct information to get to the key.
PowerPoint 7.0b puts this key in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

PowerPoint Makes Read/Write Call to
Windows NT Registry; Violates C2 Security
PowerPoint 7.0 tries to open some registry keys with read/write
privileges, when it needs only read access. Users may not have write
access, which causes PowerPoint to fail. PowerPoint 7.0b makes the
registry call read-only.

Windows NT 4.0: PowerPoint Calls Iclose
on Something That Is Not a Valid File Handle
If you run a version of Windows NT later than 3.51, you may have trouble
opening or saving a presentation repeatedly, or you may have trouble
adding images to the ClipArt Gallery. This is because PowerPoint 7.0
makes a call to an invalid file handle.
PowerPoint 7.0b makes the correct call.
Applying a Template Under Windows NT at
VGA (640x480x16) May Turn Slides Black
This happens if your presentation contains a shaded fill.
This is fixed in the Asian versions of PowerPoint 7.0 and in

PowerPoint 7.0 Crashes on Bullet Font Mixed Selection
PowerPoint 7.0 may crash if you click Bullets on the Format menu if you
