PPT7: Saving Version 7.0 File in 4.0 Format Changes Slide Setup (155958)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows 95

This article was previously published under Q155958

SYMPTOMS

If you choose a custom Slide Setup for a PowerPoint 95 presentation and then save it in PowerPoint 4.0 format, the Slide Setup settings does not match the actual slide size if you reopen the presentation.

If you reopen the presentation in PowerPoint 95, the slide size appears not to have changed. However, if you click Slide Setup on the File menu, it indicates the slide size has returned to the default (10" wide by 7.5" tall). When you close the Slide Setup dialog box, your slides change to that default size.

MORE INFORMATION

This effect does not occur if you open the presentation in PowerPoint 4.0.

STATUS

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
