How to save in Powerpoint 2003 format using Office 2007/2010 :
*(a humble  note : the HELP paragraph mentioned below is  ONLY for those who wish to know; those who already know may skip it....!) 
If you are using office 2003 edition, the files will automatically be saved as 2003format (.ppt). 
But, if you are using office 2007 or 2010, you have to go to à file à save as à then select “97-2003” format;  (or) you have to click on the office button at the top left corner to get this menu.

Note for Office 2010 users : please check the file for its accuracy after saving in 2003 format  by opening the file  in another computer as some compatibility issues are noted  when saving a file from office 2010 to earlier versions; this problem is more likely to occur when your powepoint slides  contain embedded data like table copied from excel sheet etc.
