I'm trying to save to an earlier version of Powerpoint from Powerpoint 2003.
I get the message "You are attempting to save to a file type that is blocked
by your registry policy setting." Then I get "Powerpoint couldn't translate
this file."

Any ideas on how to change the registry or what to do?

Thanks for any help.
