Opening pps files from OE
I know there has been a problem opening Power Point files from OE, though I
haven't heard anything lately. I have to save them to a file then open them which is quite inconvenient. Has there been any 'fix' for that problem? Thanks much, Mike

Opening pps files from OE
Fixed about five years ago.
There is a conflict with PPS and XP/SP2. See this link for a fix: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/ppsopen.htm Unless it is just a file association problem. Save the attachment to your HDD. Right click on it and Open With | Choose Program. Find and choose a program that works, PowerPoint Viewer, and then check the box: Always use this program to open this kind of file. This should enable you to open these attachments in the future. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express Imperial Beach, CA "speedy_mike" wrote in message ...
