How to convert a presentation from pptx to ppt. Convert PPTX to PPT (3 options). Key features and functions

I doubted this article for a long time, but nevertheless decided to publish it. With this article, I open the Microsoft Powerpoint section on the site, and also continue the series of articles on converting, as well as.

Now it's time to talk about presentation files, namely how to open convert pptx to ppt format files supported by Powerpoint 2003 and below. I have three options for you, which one to choose is up to you.

The first option is to use the Compatibility Pack.

Yes, yes, this is the same compatibility package that is suitable for other programs from the series Microsoft Office. It can be downloaded from the link absolutely free. After installing this utility, your Powerpoint 2003 will open files with the .pptx extension without any problems.

You can open them in the usual version of the presentation program and save it in your format or leave it the same. Besides, this utility immediately solve the problems of all other programs - Excel, Word, Access.

The second option is online conversion

I decided not to talk about the same site as in the article about Excel, but to talk about another. This time I liked the site. It is also simple and convenient, and also has many different options for formatting.

You can either upload the file from your computer or download the file from the link. Well, let's look at the option when downloading from a computer, I'm sure it is many times more popular. In the first step, we select a file on the computer. In the second step, select the format that should be the output, and click on the "Convert" button.

After the download slider reaches 100 percent, you will open new page, which will offer to download 2 files. First, this is your already converted file. And the second one is the same, only in the archive (it weighs less in it).

The third option - programs for converting

Well, if you have read other articles about converting, I don't really like this option and I recommend it if you have a lot of files to convert and everything needs to be processed quickly and automatically. If there are not so many files, then the first two options are ideal.

Buy programs if you only have more than 50 files and there is very little time for this. You can download OpenOffice for free and save it in the format you need.

As an afterword, I want to note that for me the most convenient is the second option. It does not require binding to a place and does everything on the fly. Plus, it's free. And which option did you choose? Report it in the comments, if it's not difficult, you can even argue why you chose this or that option.

Converting a PPTX file to PPT is a process that changes the presentation of data, not the data itself. Data conversion is a process performed for the needs of computer technology. We, as end users, are primarily interested in the contents of the file. Machines perceive data in files quite differently. They are not interested in the content, what matters to them is the appropriate form, or presentation of the data, so that they can decipher its content.

Although the data in its final form is a series of 0s and 1s, it must be a series ordered in such a way that it is readable for a particular application or platform. Whenever data is to be passed on, it must be converted into a readable format for the next application - we are interested in the target PPT format. The data contained in a PPTX file can be converted not only for the needs of the next application, but also in order to transfer them to another computer system.

Data export and import and manual conversion

Data conversion is usually a process in which certain cases mechanized. The effect of the work of one program is automatically the input product of the next application (some applications provide an automatic opportunity to record the work carried out with the PPTX file in the PPT format - EXPORT data) After exporting, we can simple method spend IMPORT this data to another application. If this is not possible, we can try to independently carry out the process of converting PPTX to PPT. In order for the language of the machines to match, you must use the appropriate converter. The list of programs for the conversion you are interested in can be found at the top of this page. The file converter is a translator binary code, leveling the difference in the code or making it the correct translation in such a way that another machine or program understands it. For us, as users, the only noticeable change will be a different file extension - PPT instead of PPTX. For machines and programs, this is the difference between understanding the contents of a file and not being able to read it.
