Mac: Certain presentations crash PowerPoint 98 and 2001
Problem
Certain presentations created on newer versions of PowerPoint (2002 and later) crash PowerPoint 98 and 2001.
Cause
There is a bug in the release versions of PowerPoint 98 and 2001 that cause them to crash when they encounter presentations with multiple masters.
Solution
Download and install the latest updates for PowerPoint
If applying the update doesn't cure the problem, then the multiple masters bug isn't responsible.
