PPT: 4.0 Files Saved in Outline View Open in Slide View (134457)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows 95

This article was previously published under Q134457

SYMPTOMS

When you open a PowerPoint version 2.0 through 4.0 presentation in PowerPoint for Windows 95, version 7.0, it always opens in Slide View. This happens even if you were in Slide Sorter, Outline, Handout, or Title (PowerPoint 2.0 only) view when you saved the original presentation.

CAUSE

When you open an earlier version presentation in PowerPoint for Windows 95, it is converted to PowerPoint for Windows 95 format. The converter always changes the view of the presentation to Slide View. The reverse is also true. When you save a presentation from PowerPoint for Windows 95 as a PowerPoint 4.0 presentation, it opens the PowerPoint 4.0 presentation in Slide View, regardless of what view the presentation was saved in.
