The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft PowerPoint 97 for Windows Service Release 1 (SR-1)
- Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows 95, version 7.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
If you save a PowerPoint 97 SR-1 presentation with an embedded graph in the
PowerPoint 95 & 97 dual file format, open the presentation in Microsoft
PowerPoint, version 7.0, and then double-click the graph object, you may receive
the following error message:
The server application, source file, or item cannot be found. Make sure the
application is properly installed, and that it has not been deleted, moved,
or renamed.
CAUSE
=====
This error occurs when you save a presentation in the PowerPoint 95 & 97
dual format. PowerPoint 97 SR-1 contains a new feature that converts Graph 97
objects to the Graph 5.0 format. However, you cannot use this feature with the
PowerPoint 95 & 97 dual format. Because you cannot use Graph 5.0 to edit
Graph 97 objects, you receive this error message. (Graph 5.0 is included with
PowerPoint versions 4.0 and 7.0.)
RESOLUTION
==========
To resolve this problem, follow these steps:
1. In PowerPoint 97 SR-1, click Save As on the File menu.
2. In the Save As Type list, select one of the following file formats:
PowerPoint 4.0 with Graph 5.0 (*.ppt)
PowerPoint 95 with Graph 5.0 (*.ppt)
3. Type a new file name.
4. Click Save.
NOTE: If you edit any of the graphs using Graph 5.0, and then reopen the
presentation in PowerPoint 97 SR-1, PowerPoint automatically converts the
objects to Graph 97 format. Repeat steps 1 through 4 when you save the
presentation again.
STATUS
======
This feature is under review and will be considered for inclusion in a future
release.
