Check Compatibility

Not everyone has the latest version of Microsoft PowerPoint. When you run the Compatibility Checker, you can look for features that are not supported in earlier versions of Microsoft PowerPoint.

 

4. Try it: Check Compatibility

Go to File ->Info->Check for Issues.

Select Check Compatibility.


What Do You See? The presentation in this example has sections which is a new feature in PowerPoint 2010.

 

If you chose to save the presentation in the PowerPoint 97-2003 formats, the sections would be lost, although all of the slides would still be there. The embedded media clips would be saved as pictures in the old 97-2003 file format.
