Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. Choose where you want to search below Search Search the Community. J Hope. I have a large number of Power Point files that were created in , , , and later using then current versions of Power Point 3. I upgraded to Windows Vista 64 anad a new computer in August , with Office and recently needed to open a Power Point presentation from and use it the historical data in a new presentation.
My computer wouldn't open the file and said that my current Power Point doesn't support earlier versions. I then tried to open the file one of my other computers that has Windows XP and Office The file wouldn't open on that computer either giving a similar message. I also have an antique computer with Windows 98 that isn't very reliable, some of these old Power Point files can open on that computer with a little animation of pages flying through the air saying it is updating from an older version of Power Point.
I have hundreds of old Power Point files and some of them still have relevant historical information that I need to use occasionally without having to remember the details of what I put on them then. How can I open these old Power Point files on my new computer? The bad part is I have no idea why PowerPoint on your machine would be referencing an older version of the document.
In order for the file to open on your computer it has to download it somehow, but where it stores that temporary download is the question.
For some reason, that file could be outdated and it's just not syncing the latest change. Sadly, I'm not a Mac guy, so if you know how to find those temporary files then try clearing them then opening the file from OneDrive. Another option is just to install OneDrive for Mac, sync the shared file to your OneDrive account, and then open the file directly from the local file instead of browsing to OneDrive.

In reply to stanimal21's post on October 17, The only place I can find the version that it is opening, is in previous versions. The current version is in the OneDrive folder. In reply to KristinZbierajewski's post on October 17, For example..
