PPT98: Files Saved in Outline View Open in Slide View (188928)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft PowerPoint 98 Macintosh Edition

This article was previously published under Q188928

SYMPTOMS

When you open a PowerPoint version 3.0 or 4.0 presentation in PowerPoint 98 Macintosh Edition, it always opens in Slide View. This happens even if you were in Slide Sorter, Outline, or Handout view when you saved the original presentation.

CAUSE

When you open an earlier version presentation in PowerPoint 98 Macintosh Edition, it is converted to PowerPoint 98 Macintosh Edition 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 98 Macintosh Edition 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.
