Problem

I have converted a .ppt presentation to a presentation in Office Open XML File Format (.pptx, .pptm) using the Convert function of PowerPoint 2007 or later.

After clicking on a think-cell chart, I receive the message This element was changed without think-cell. message: this element was changed without think-cell.

Solution

For each chart, please select the option Manually carry over changes to think-cell. For more details about this dialog please refer to Share presentations with users who don't have think-cell in our manual.

To convert .ppt into .pptx presentations without encountering this problem use Save As instead of Convert.
