I am creating a PP presentation on PP 2007 for a school project, however the school still has PP 2003. I want to use the theme that I have on my machine that comes with 2007, however I am fairly positive this theme did not come with 2003. Is there any way to imbed the theme so it works on 2003? I used to be able to go to the Themes folder in my Program Files/Microsoft/Office 12/Themes folder, however it doesn't exist on Office 2007 and I can't even find the themes to save one to a drive ... if that will even work going back to 2003. Has anybody experienced this problem? I have when I get up to do a presentationa nd my theme is gone, I have to choose a new one quickly, and all my fonts are the wrong size, etc. Thanks, Smmurph

App: MS Office 2003 Stupid Msg: "You have not entered a valid product key" Problem Background: I am working on a dell workstation that had office Basic on it, and I wanted to add Power Point from the Office Pro 2003 cd so that the Pres of my company could view a presentation file. When I entered the setup routince for MS Ofc 2003, it just said setup was complete, and yet none of the additional Office Pro products were available. Not being able to load any of the Office Pro products, I thought I would remove Office Basic, and start over by loading Office 2003, but when I went to remove Office Basic, the control panel Add/Remove programs showed that Office 2003 was loaded, even though none of the programs were avvailable. So, I removed both programs through control panel. So now I am trying to load Office Pro 2003, the windows installer begins, and then I get the error message above. It will not even let me install the programs. The only knowledge base articles I have found are to troubleshoot this error message when you receive it AFTER you have completed the installation, and the error msg appears when trying to open and app that is already installed. I have tried to copy the installation files to the hard drive, changed the setup.ini files so that the product key is in the setup file adding to the product section: PIDKEY="productkey" but this doesn't work. I have tried doing an admin setup, but it tells me I need to add the product key to the installation file (huh?). The MS knowledge base tells me to use the custom installer, which is no longer on the machine since I unloaded all of the programs. I am at an impasse, any help greatly appreciated. Smmurph
