Re: OTP Computer Expert Needed

I'm not much of an expert, but I'll try. Open any explorer window (eg-My Documents) and click View>Folder Options and File Type. In the window which opens all your file types will be listed, scroll down to pps. or ppt. and if they are not associated with PowerPoint viewer you can click change and chose PP from the list.
Hope that helps.

I get emails with attachments, some are Power Point and some are not, that when I try to open them I am asked if I want to open them or not. I click on yes and then I got a notice that says. "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Folder Options control panel."
I have Windows XL and have "Power Point viewer 2003."

My DIL says she has only ever seen Power Point listed on the programs without "Viewer" on it. Does that make any difference on Power Point?

Any help will be very much appreciated.
