  I am trying to check a PPT presentation for features not supported by earlier versions of PPT before I send it out.

What is the best way to do that?

Thanks, Dave P.

	Hi Dave, welcome to the PowerPoint Forum. The best and simplest way to check the features of your presentation are compatible with earliers versions of PowerPoint before you distribute it is to save your presentation in PowerPoint 97–2003 (.ppt) format. There are many features in PowerPoint 2007, PowerPoint 2010, and PowerPoint 365 which are not supported in the earlier versions of PowerPoint, so by selecting and saving your presentation in PowerPoint 97–2003 (.ppt) format from the "Save as." options in the File menu, you can check and see if and which features are not supported and in such case either remove them from your original presentation or make an alternative presentation for users with older versions of Microsoft PowerPoint.
