SYMPTOMS
When you view a presentation that contains animated diagrams in Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 Viewer or in Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer 2007, the slide that contains the animated diagrams appears as a static graphic.

WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, use one of the following methods.

Method 1: View the presentation in PowerPoint
Package the presentation without the PowerPoint Viewer, and then play the presentation in PowerPoint.

 * 1) Open the presentation that you want to save.
