I didn't get any response to this last post so I am trying again. Kathy, I pasted your direct link in & ended up the same way. I thought I was up to date on the service packs, but when I looked I did not see the service converter so I went to get that. Still ended up on the page telling me it can't be displayed. I tried the link Martha suggested & ended up lost as to what to do. Any other thoughts?

That = page is: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=3D941b3470-3ae9-= 4aee- 8f43-c6bb74cd1466 One thing you should know... IF you aren't up to date on service packs, = the compatibility pack won't install. So, if it still won't install when you grab it from the direct link, try checking to ensure that you have SP2 = for Office 2003 installed. --=20 Kathy Jacobs,=A0 Microsoft MVP=A0 OneNote and PowerPoint Author of Kathy Jacobs on PowerPoint Get PowerPoint and OneNote information at www.onppt.com I believe life is meant to be lived.
