It seems like this may be a compatibility problem. The window border
show the file name and in parenthesis show Compatibility Mode.

In that case you might get rid of the problem by first saving the file as
PPT 2007 presentation.

That worked, but now how do I transfer the modified ppt file slides to
the 2007 version?

That is, I first modified the 97 file, call it A, and saved it as a docx
file, call it B. Now I have a 2007 version that came from 97 that is not
modified, but seems fine in the 2007, call it C.

I cannot have both files open at the same time to copy and paste, or cay I?

OK,I got it squared away. As per one poster, I had to remove the special
characters. Fortunately, I caught all this in the early stages, and
really only had to deal with two pages.
