SYMPTOMS
If you use the PowerPoint 7.0 Pack And Go Wizard to pack a
PowerPoint 4.0 presentation and then unpack that presentation on another
computer, you may receive the following error message when you try to open
the presentation in PowerPoint 4.0 or show it using PowerPoint Viewer
version 4.0:
Sorry, this is not a PowerPoint presentation.
CAUSE
This problem occurs if you do not include the 16-bit PowerPoint Viewer as
part of the Pack And Go file.
The Pack And Go Wizard converts PowerPoint 4.0 presentations to PowerPoint
for Windows 95 format. If you don't pack the Viewer along with the
presentation, PowerPoint 4.0 won't be able to read the presentation when it
is unpacked.
The 16-bit PowerPoint Viewer includes a file called Pp7trans.dll. This file
enables PowerPoint 4.0 to open PowerPoint 7.0 presentations. In addition,
if the Viewer is packed with the presentation, Pngsetup.exe modifies your
Powerpnt.ini file so that your copy of PowerPoint 4.0 can read PowerPoint
for Windows 95 presentations.
RESOLUTION
If you did not pack the Viewer, you can install the PowerPoint 7.0 Viewer by
using a PowerPoint 7.0 Viewer disk.
The disk contents can also be downloaded from the Microsoft Download
Library, MSDL, at (425) 936-6735, using 1200-14,000 baud, 8 data bits, 1
stop bit, and no parity. After downloading the Viewer contents to a blank
disk, install Viewer by switching to drive A, typing
and pressing Enter.
