Look, I tried to help you over in office.misc, and you said there the file
associations are okay. I suggested making sure that they are set to *open,*
not to *show,* but you didn't respond and instead posted here. That's fine,
but I'm still trying to figure out if it's a PPT issue or an Outlook issue
or what. But if you can't be bothered to save the file to the harddrive to
test, then fine, don't.
