Unable to open ppt files
in [Powerpoint]
|
From: CLK Group CLK on 16 May 2008 17:47 I have Power Point 2007 Viewer in Vista Home Premium. I can open pps files but not ppt files. I remember having to make a registry change before being able to open a pps file. Any suggestions? Thanks
From: CLK Group on 16 May 2008 19:55 Forgot to mention - the file will not open as a Win Mail attachment but will open when saved to hard drive.

From: Echo S on 17 May 2008 11:08 Not sure if this will help you or not, but it's as good a place as any to start: Changing a File Association, Repairing broken File Associations http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00355.htm (There's a little email-specific information in there.) Oh, this might also help: Can't open attached presentations from within Outlook Express after applying Windows XP SP2 http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00657.htm (Page needs to be updated. Windows Mail is the next version of Outlook Express. And the 2007 Viewer is the next version of the 2003 Viewer. But I think teh principle is still the same.) -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com What's new in PPT 2007? http://www.echosvoice.com/2007.htm Fixing PowerPoint Annoyances http://tinyurl.com/36grcd PowerPoint 2007 Complete Makeover Kit http://tinyurl.com/32a7nx "CLK Group" <CLKGroup(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:78EEDA44-5F68-4CF3-AAAB-A91F7F0F0EC3(a)microsoft.com... > Forgot to mention - the file will not open as a Win Mail attachment but > will > open when saved to hard drive. > > "CLK Group" wrote: > >> I have Power Point 2007 Viewer in Vista Home Premium.

From: CLK Group on 17 May 2008 12:16 Thanks for your help - I did manage to locate the specific fix. As I thought, the registry had to be changed.

From: Echo S on 17 May 2008 12:27 Ah, thanks for that.
