2.00

WINDOWS

Summary:

When you try to save a presentation to an existing read-only file, PowerPoint for Windows gives the following alert:

Sorry, the file is already open

The error message should say that the file is read-only.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in PowerPoint for Windows version 2.00. We are researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
