PowerPoint previews without installing powerpoint?

[Scott Bussinger]

I'm running Outlook 2007 and also have Word 2007 and Excel 2007
installed. I can preview .DOC and .XLS files just fine. Is there any
way to preview .PPS PowerPoint files without installing the full
PowerPoint application? I never create slideshows myself, but I do
occasionally receive them from other people. It seems silly to install
the entire application just to enable previewing -- do I have another
option? Could I just install the viewer for instance? Is there a third
party solution that supports .PPS?

Thanks!

Thanks Hal, but does that install an Outlook 2007 previewer (I'm
talking about previewing an Outlook attachment directly inside Outlook
2007 here)? I know it would work for standalone viewing, but wasn't
sure whether it installed a preview handler or not.

Why not try it and find out?
