Vista & Power Point

[Sam spade]

I have a friend who has Vista operating system and when I send her power
point presentations (previously sent to me) she says her system doesn't
recognize them. Can someone post a URL that I can send her so that she can
see the presentations.
Thank you.

Are you sending them as attachments? Is your friend trying to open them with
no luck?

1: Does she have PowerPoint or a PowerPoint Viewer installed?

PowerPoint Viewer 2007:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...40-14E1-467D-8DCA-19D2A8FD7485&displaylang=en

2: Is she using Windows Mail? The e-mail client that replaced OE in Vista?
Is #1 is taken care of, then this still needs to be done.

It's not her "system" that's the problem.

She needs a compatible application like the following:

you can upload files to microsoft
skydrive server for free and share
them over the internet.

Thanks Bruce. I'll send her that information.

That's not relevant.

and when I send her power
point presentations (previously sent to me)

PowerPoint presentations are files created with PowerPoint (or some
compatible program), and to view them, you need to have PowerPoint (or
some compatible program) installed. Since you have been able to view
them, you apparently have what you need installed.

she says her system doesn't recognize them.

It's not *her system* that doesn't recognize them. Almost certainly
she simply doesn't have PowerPoint (or some compatible program)
installed.

If she wants to see them, she needs to install something suitable. She
can buy PowerPoint, but if she just wants to view PowerPoint
presentations and not create any herself, she can download and install
the free Microsoft PowerPoint viewer at
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...40-14e1-467d-8dca-19d2a8fd7485&displaylang=en
