SYMPTOMS
When you open a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation in PowerPoint 2002, and the presentation was created with an earlier version of PowerPoint for Windows or Powerpoint 2001 for Macintosh, some of the images and other objects are displayed upside down (flipped).



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because the presentation was created in either PowerPoint 97, PowerPoint 2000, or in PowerPoint for the Macintosh, but not in PowerPoint 2000 SR-1, and the flipped properties of an image or other graphic object may be accidentally turned on. Because the earlier versions of PowerPoint do not use the flipped property, the image does not appear to be flipped in the earlier version. PowerPoint 2002 does use the flipped property, and therefore the flipped object is correctly displayed upside down.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this behavior, flip the image right-side up, and then save the document. To flip an image or other graphic object, follow these steps:
 * 1) Select the image or graphic object that you want.
 * 2) On the Drawing toolbar, click Draw.
 * 3) Point to Rotate or Flip, and then click Flip Vertical.
