What happens if you try to open a MS PowerPoint presentation created in a newer version (e.g., MS PowerPoint 2021) in an older version (e.g., MS PowerPoint 2010)?​

Correct option is D

Correct Answer: (D) The file will open in Compatibility Mode with limited features.

Explanation:

• When you try to open a PowerPoint file created in a newer version (like MS PowerPoint 2021) in an older version (like MS PowerPoint 2010), MS PowerPoint will open the file in Compatibility Mode.
• In Compatibility Mode, some features that are only available in the newer version might not be supported, and the file will have limited functionality. For example, advanced animations or transitions may not work, or certain formatting may be lost.
• This mode allows the file to be viewed and edited in the older version, but with restrictions based on the features supported by that version.

Information Booster:

• Compatibility Mode: When a file is opened in Compatibility Mode, it ensures that it can be worked on in older versions without causing compatibility issues, but with the limitation of not using newer features.
• File Conversion: If you need to use newer features, you would need to save the file in the format of the older PowerPoint version (for example, as a .ppt file in PowerPoint 2010) or update the older software to the newer version.
