Hello,

I have an important Powerpoint file created back in 1997 which I want make viewable on modern machines.

I've imported the file in MS Powerpoint 2000 and then saved it in it so it can now be opened and viewed in Powerpoint 2013 (Office 2007 and up cannot open the file). The resulting file is rendered perfectly in all but one aspect:

The text of each slide appears wholly as a background shadow immediately with each new slide instead of sequential feed upon mouse clicks. This spoils the more interactive, progressive rendering of the slideshow. To illustrate it:

In the original slideshow you move from this:



to this





over a course of few mouse clicks.

Whereas in current viewers each new slide already contains all the text (in shadow font) which then is just being filled up by the original light colour:



Thank you, all ideas will be most welcome.
