SYMPTOMS
When you open the Encryption Type dialog box to select an advanced type of encryption to apply to your Microsoft PowerPoint 2002 presentation, the Weak Encryption (XOR) and the Office 97/2000 Compatible options are not included in the list of encryption types as expected.

These options are included in the list of encryption types in Microsoft Word 2002 and in Microsoft Excel 2002.

NOTE: To open the Encryption Type dialog box, click Options on the Tools menu, click the Security tab, and then click Advanced.



CAUSE
These encryption schemes are included with Word 2002 and Excel 2002 to preserve backward compatibility for earlier versions of Word and Excel encryption. Microsoft PowerPoint 2002 is the first version of PowerPoint to support password encryption, and therefore it does not list these other two encryption options.
