SYMPTOMS
When you use Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007, Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003, or Microsoft
PowerPoint 2002 to open a Microsoft PowerPoint 2000 presentation, the panes may
not be displayed in the same position in which they were originally saved.
Additionally, in PowerPoint 2007, in PowerPoint 2003, or in PowerPoint 2002, a
Slides tab and an
Outline tab are visible in the upper-left portion of the PowerPoint user
interface.
CAUSE
This issue may occur when you save your presentation in
PowerPoint 2000 and when the following conditions are true:
- You save the presentation in Normal view.
- You minimize the outline pane so that it is not
visible.
- You enlarge the slides pane to fill nearly the entire
window.
- You make sure that the notes pane is visible.
WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, use one of the following
methods.
Method 1: Adjust the width of the panes
Adjust the width of the panes so that they are displayed in their
original positions, and then save the presentation in PowerPoint 2007, in PowerPoint 2003, or
in PowerPoint 2002. To do this, follow these steps, as appropriate for the version of PowerPoint that you are running.
PowerPoint 2007
- Open your presentation in PowerPoint 2007.
- Drag the vertical split bar to resize the panes to the size
and the position that you want.
- Click the Microsoft Office Button

PowerPoint 2003 and PowerPoint 2002
- Open your presentation in PowerPoint 2003 or in PowerPoint
2002.
- Drag the vertical split bar to resize the panes to the size
and the position that you want.
- On the File menu, click Save.
The panes are displayed with these settings the next time that
you open the presentation.
Method 2: Specify a default view
Specify a default view in which to display your presentations
every time that you start PowerPoint. To do this, follow these steps:
- Open your presentation in PowerPoint 2003 or in PowerPoint
2002.
- On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the View tab.
- Under Default View, select the view that you want, and then click OK.
For example, if you do not want to view thumbnails,
select Normal - outline, notes and slide, Normal -
slide only, or any of the views that are listed that do not show thumbnails.
All new and existing presentations are now opened in the view
that you selected.
