From: Bill on 10 Jan 2006 09:03 I explored further thinking it must lay beyond the PowerPoint. I found in the virus/internet security that PowerPoint was blocked. Everything else was open and I know I used PowerPoint before, however, some how it got blocked, I opened (allowed) communication with the internet and all appears to be fine. Thanks for the work, I would not have thought to go there without knowing what to check first. "Bill" wrote: > I did that and the site opened when I clicked OK, it did not open in the > PowerPoint.
