Does Open Office read file extension with .pps. I have power point installed

but can't view some emails I receive that have the extension .pps. I

understand they can be read if you have the full MS office program.

Thanks

    They can also be read with the free Power Point Viewer. But if Open

    Office can read them, you just need to associate the pps filetype with the

    Open Office application.

    On the other hand, you may have Outlook Express configured to not allow

    launching attachments: this is under Tools, Options, Security.

    Yes it can. But not automatically - there's a free add-in to start the show

    automatically AFAIR....

    Patrick, Gordon, thanks for your replies. I have free Power point viewer but

    regardless in what directory I install the email with the .pps extension it

    does not find or recognize it. Outlook Express not configured to prevent

    attachments from loading.

    Thanks again

    Right click and Save the attachment alone to your harddrive, then open it.

    If it isn't corrupt it should open in either PPViewer or Open Office.

    RaifG,

    Right clicking on the attachment does not give me a save option.

    Are you sure that you don't have the OE Security option set to not open or

    save possibly dangerous attachments? OE Tools-Options-Security tab.
