SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft PowerPoint 2002, when you create a Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macro to save a presentation as a Microsoft PowerPoint 95 presentation, you do not receive a message that some features may be lost when you save to the earlier version.

When you manually save the same presentation as a PowerPoint 95 presentation, the following message appears as expected:

may contain features that are not compatible with a PowerPoint 95 presentation. Do you want to save the presentation in this format?

This behavior occurs even when you use the following line of code to programmatically set the program to display all such messages: Application.DisplayAlerts = ppAlertsAll



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because Visual Basic save code in the object model bypasses all user interface-related alert-type messages.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
