Ok, the 2 most recent versions of Office are Office 2003 and Office 2007

Office 2003 saves as, requires a .ppt for power point
Office 2007 can save as, both the old ppt and the newer version .pptx.

To view a .pptx file in an older version of office, you need to download a compatibility pack.

You can also view Powerpoint without office installed, .pptx ( or even .ppt ) by downloading a powerpoint viewer.

Both of these can be obtained from Microsoft's site, if I wasn't 10 mins from a quiz i would find the links for you.

Note: These same concepts apply to .docx files for Office 2007 ( and most likely Ecxel files etc).

If you can't find the patch or the viewer that you need in the next couple hours, I will be able to find them once I get home.

(edit: Beaten twice! They have included the link for the viewer, but if you need help with the compatibility pack , just post)
