I don’t think 2.8.4 will help with cloning issues, I have already tried it any many of the bugs I have reported are not solved. It is a 97-2003 presentation but I am viewing it in 2007
Can you explain the problems in 2007, I obviously could not ask an organisation to revert from Office 2007 to overcome these problems? I though that there was some sort of standard Microsoft specification for PowerPoint?
