I have Powerpoint 2007 and up until I downloaded the service pack, I was able
to open and print .ppt documents from earlier version of powerpoint. I
downloaded the service pack and now I can't open these files. I have a
viewer and can view them, but I need the ability to open and print them for
school. Any suggestions? Am I missing something?

Hi

What happens when you try to open a file? Are you opening by double-clicking
the file or by opening PowerPoint and going through the 'open' dialogue? If
you are double-clicking and the files are opening in the viewer rather than
PowerPoint then that's an easy fix :-)
