Aaaaaaaargh - wouldn't you just know it - supposed to be on leave this week - hence sat at home with briefcase etc all sitting next to me with a pile of work
But I'm writing up the events and outcomes of a full day's mtg last Thursday to then turn them into an action plan and want to embed all the presentations that were given into the word doc. Fairly easy or so you would have thought except I can't get my my PC to read the powerpoint files. It reads the Word files with no prob's but for PP, tells me it can't read the file and tells me it's not a PP file - oh yes it bloody well is!! I know coz I saved the flaming things and they're all .ppt. There's about 12 in total and all are the same in terms of can't be read.
My desk top PP (office suite 2003) is a later version of the saved files (also Office suite 2000) so I know it shouldn't be a compatibility issue - or is it? It's never been a problem before.
Please tell me I'm just being dense and/or there's an instant fix or am I going to have to try and do all this on my lap top which I'd rather not do if I can avoid it.
Thanks peeps
