E-mailing a presentation

[Guest]

Is it possible to e-mail a Powerpoint presentation and have the recipient
have the attachment open as a slide show if the recipient does not have
Powerpoint or Viewer on their computer?

Not really. They require one of the other to view the presentation in it's
native form. You could put it into Adobe Acrobat This of course requires
that Adobe be installed on their system the only other way is to publish to
a web page as a mht file (archived web page) then all they require is their
internet browser to look at the presentation.

No. PPT/PPS files require PowerPoint or the PPT Viewer to play them.

You'd have to convert it to a different format, and then it wouldn't be a
PPT presentation, it would be "another format" presentation -- Flash, java,
HTML, images, etc. Or you could create an EXE that bundles the Viewer and
the presentation. But that might be 1) too big to email and 2) caught in
email filters and not get through to the recipient.
