Overview

The Multiple Master Presentations converter allows a Microsoft PowerPoint® 97 user to open a PowerPoint 2002 presentation that contains multiple slide masters (uses more than one design template) and was saved in PowerPoint 2000. If the PowerPoint 2002 presentation was saved in PowerPoint 2000 SR-1, you do not need the Multiple Master Presentations converter to open the presentation in PowerPoint 97. 


If you receive the following error message in PowerPoint 97 when you open a PowerPoint 2002 presentation, you need to install the Multiple Master Presentations converter to open the presentation:


This file was created by a later version of Microsoft PowerPoint. To open this file you need a converter that you can download from the Web site. After downloading the converter, please restart Microsoft PowerPoint and reopen the file.


Do you want to connect to the site to download the converter now?


The ability to create a presentation that uses more than one design template is new in PowerPoint 2002. Using the Multiple Master Presentations converter with PowerPoint 97 only allows you to open a presentation that uses more than one design template; it does not allow you to create a presentation that uses multiple design templates in PowerPoint 97.
