PPT97: Template Animation Lost When Saving from PowerPoint 97

This article was previously published under Q162182

SYMPTOMS

If you use one of the Presentation Design templates shipped with PowerPoint 97 that has custom animation applied to the master slide, and then save the presentation in PowerPoint 95 or 4.0 format, the custom animation is lost.

The following templates shipped with PowerPoint 97 have Custom Animation settings applied to the Master Slide:
  • High Voltage
  • Pulse
  • Ribbons
  • Whirlpool

CAUSE

PowerPoint 97 is the first version of PowerPoint to support animated objects on the Slide Master.

PowerPoint 95 and PowerPoint 4.0 do not support custom animation on the Slide Master. When you save a PowerPoint 97 presentation in PowerPoint 95 or PowerPoint 4.0, these effects are lost.

APPLIES TO
  • Microsoft PowerPoint 97 Standard Edition

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
