Microsoft® PowerPoint® Versions

Microsoft® PowerPoint® has changed a great deal since its introduction. The program is available for the users of Microsoft® Windows® and Mac OSX. Files that are created in a particular Microsoft® PowerPoint® version may not be compatible, readable or editable by another version of the Microsoft® PowerPoint®. Also, the version compatibility across platforms can pose a problem for multiple versions of the Microsoft® PowerPoint® (Windows®, Mac OSX and Cloud).

Microsoft® PowerPoint® 2010 Converter

Microsoft® PowerPoint® 2010 Converter is a freeware program that is used to convert the presentation formats across different versions and platforms of the Microsoft® PowerPoint®. It helps you share PowerPoint® files with people running different versions of PowerPoint®. It also provides file converters and image filters for Microsoft® Office programs, from Microsoft® Office 97 to Microsoft® Office 2010 and more.

The Microsoft® Converter allows you to view, print and distribute document, spreadsheets and presentations that were created using different versions of Microsoft® Office PowerPoint®, without the requirement of direct cross-functional and cross-platform compatibility being incorporated. It also helps you provide document on a computer that either has a very low-end configuration or just cannot support the minimum requirements of the newer and faster versions of the Microsoft® Office PowerPoint®.

You can easily convert PPT files to PPTX and vice versa. The files can be directly assigned destination directories or network folders and the data on each presentation would be converted, as it is complete with images and all. However, we were disappointed the conversion took over a minute, as we expected it to happen instantly.

One simple point to keep in mind with Windows® XP, do not operate the converter while you are running Microsoft® Office. It might cause performance deterioration of your machine.
