I'm editing text in presentations using PowerPoint 2003 on WinXP SP2. I seldom have a need for Excel, so I haven't had many opportunities to experience its behavior. When I try to open PPT files created by others -- presumably on newer systems -- the application crashes with some regularity. I think (though I'm not certain) it may be related to certain graphics file formats or perhaps to animations in the file. If I try to scroll to a certain page in an offending file, the application crashes (with the error message and automatic relaunch). If I don't scroll through the pages, sometimes I can print a PDF of the offending file to see all the content. In one instance I saved a PPT to be downwardly compatible with earlier versions and was able to view the entire presentation. Can anyone help me actually identify, diagnose and correct this error? Thanks!
