When you edit a Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007, Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003, or
Microsoft PowerPoint 2002 presentation in Microsoft PowerPoint 2000, and then you reopen
the presentation in PowerPoint 2007, PowerPoint 2003 or PowerPoint 2002, some custom animations
may be missing.

This behavior can occur when you add an animation to the slide and then save
the presentation by using the same name as the PowerPoint 2007, PowerPoint 2003 or PowerPoint 2002
presentation. Certain custom animations in PowerPoint 2007, PowerPoint 2003, or PowerPoint 2002
do not exist in PowerPoint 2000. Therefore, when you save the presentation in
PowerPoint 2000, the PowerPoint 2007, PowerPoint 2003 or PowerPoint 2002 animations are deleted
from the presentation.

To work around this issue, when you open a PowerPoint 2007, PowerPoint 2003, or PowerPoint 2002 presentation in PowerPoint 2000 and then make changes to
the presentation, save the presentation to a different file name.
