My girlfriend has a jigsaw program. Many of the PPS show I receive have great pictures. How can I or she save them separately to use with her program?

How can I save the pps slides into a place I can display on my desktop/screen saver? I have a pps document that I created, I insert music on it. I burned in a CD to give it away and now the music is now playing for whatever strange reason, can you please give a rough idea of how to do a pps file and why is it that the music is not playing?

When I open PPS files sent to me in email's, sometimes I got an error message. It turned out that I was trying to open a link. Each sender was forwarding (?)the email, and when I finally got to the last link it opened. I stumbled on this by almost by accident. Something to look for.

There is an (old) powerpoint viewer for Mac. Just search for "powerpoint viewer
mac" on the Microsoft.com site.

If that doesn't work, I'd look into getting OpenOffice (free) and using it's
"Impress" program, which claims to be able to work with PowerPoint files.

I run XP and also have the SP2 installed. To view PPS files after creating an association, simply save the file you are trying to open to a folder. Now click on the file you just saved and it will open. Cheers !!

Hi Leo,
About the powerpoint issue - I have tried what you have suggested above to no avail. Some pps opens for me with no problem, and others give me that "this file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Creat an associationin the Folder Options panel.
I certainly cannot figure out what else to try!!
I cannot find an answer THAT I have'nt alread tried.

Leo,

I have Windows XP home edition. I can't view PPS. files. Also, I can only view Excel files. I can't create or edit old ones. I've seen two programs for sale. Oneis Office Suite 2005 and the other Star Office 2003. Will either do what i need and if so which is better and Microsoft interactive. Thank you.

I can't seem to open PPS files straight from Outlook or when I save them to my documents. Powerpoint seems to be running fine-I've done all the repair actions, assigned pps files to powerpoint as directed but it still won't work. The message is:

'Powerpoint can not read the file ....'

Any suggestions?

Not related to PowerPoint or PPS files at all. Probably you don't have the right encoders/decoders installed for those types of video files. It depends on what type they are, and what program you're using to view them.

When you say "a disc" - to you mean the file is on a CD-ROM? I'd start by copying the file to your hard disk before opening it. Otherwise ... does it give *any* more information other than "cannot open"?

This only relates to a OS that has a power point viewer. When receiving an E-mail with a pps file attachment, right click the name of the attachment and save it to "my documents" folder. Then open your power point viewer. The pps file should be listed under "my documents" folder. Click the pps file name, and then click "open" on the viewer. The pps file then can be viewed.

If the powerpoint viewer was installed and made available to all users, it should just work. Exactly why it doesn't work is hard to say without knowing how it's failing - as in what error message you're getting.

Well, it's a only a viewer, so it needs a power point file to view. Try double clicking on a PPT or PPS file instead.

I downloaded PowerPoint but I can't get it to work.
It shows in my programs as well as in my start.

But when I click on it, it says I need to file it in a file.

But every file I try, it says:
Power Point Viewer cannot find the file.

Can you help me?
Thanks, Janie
