Open Office

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.

Solved the problem. Thanks to all replies.
