PowerPoint

A colleague just called me and asked if I could help her with something. I go to her office and she's got a PDF ad on her screen for 20% off at Bloomingdales. She asked me if there was a way to tell what version of PowerPoint it was. I cried...

Before I could even come up with a sarcastic answer, she realized she had opened the wrong file, proceeded to open a presentation and asked me again (a legit question - woo hoo). I asked why it mattered, since the only important thing was that we were able to open them here (we're running Office 95 on some machines). She explained to me that her client told her their computers couldn't handle PowerPoint 2008 files. I told her there was nothing to worry about, since the most recent version is 2007, and that if we could open the files, they'd have no problems whatsoever...
