powerpoint >> Problem saving

Hi,
My Powerpoint sometimes (not always) refuses to overwrite the older file when I use the command-S "Save". The only way I can save the file is via "Save as" option giving file a new name/ Any idea what could be the problem?

Without knowing what version of the program or OS X you're using or what
their respective update levels are it's hard to venture a guess. Also, what
do you mean by "refuses"... Does it run & hide? Does it growl at you??? If
there is a message, how does it read? You need to provide clear detail about
what is/isn't happening relative to what you expect.

2. PPT 2007 XP user having problems saving Mac 2004 design template 

Version: 2004
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger)
Processor: Power PC

I created some design templates for a client and saved them as .pot files. My client, who is using PPT 2007 on Windows XP Pro says he can not save a new slide presentation he's created using these templates. He can only save as a design template.

He's also getting this error message:

Binary tags and hyperlinks on diagrams cannot be saved in PPT2007 xml file format. To preserve these items, save the presentation using PPT97-2003 file formats.

When I try to recreate it on my Mac (with PPT 2004), I can save it as a presentation with no problems. So is the problem on my end, his end, or somewhere in between, and what might the solution be? Thanks.

If the headache stops when you cease whacking yourself on the head with a 
hammer, is the hammer or your head to be blamed?  ;-)

Norton's notorious for causing mischief with PPT.  Check to see if there's an 
Office or PowerPoint checking feature;  if so, you can probably disable it and 
turn Norton back on.

8. problem saving power point files 

I installed MSOffice Home and Student 2007 last night on an HP computer with 
WinXP.  I also have MSOffice Professional 2003 installed on the same 
computer.  When I save a presentation made with the 2007 ver, an "X" is 
always added to the file ext. example -----.pptx or -----.ppsx.  The files 
will open and play on my computer but not on any other.
