Can you open powerpoint files using Gmail?

I read that even if you don't have any application to open a power point file that if you use Gmail that you can open a pp file-?
This seems to good to be true -

You're Welcome susiecat.pat!
As Google's help center did not specify, that the feature was not available for OS X, I was hoping that it would work for you.
But as neoroanatomist has verified, unfortunately that is not the case.
Sorry.
I use NeoOffice, but I must admit, the only feature I use it for is to view PowerPoint slideshows.
I haven't taken the time to learn all of it's other functions, as the application appears quite complicated!
And thanks for the !

  • Can you open multiple files using an advanced action?

    I have either Captivate 5.5 or Captivate 7 to work with. Currently my project is in 5.5.
    I have a button that I want to open three PDF files. I created an advanced action, selecting Open a new file/URL and selected the file name. Currently they are set to open in a new window.
    When I test the button, only one file opens.
    If I set one to open in a new window and another to open in the top window, I lose the course but get two to open.
    Is there a way for me to open each of these files in a new window using the same button?

    You could do it by executing javascript:
    in Captivate: open_win()
    add this to the head section of your html page that loads the captivate object:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function open_win()
         var url1 =" http://www.google.com";
         var url2 =" http://www.yahoo.com";
         var url3 =" http://www.bing.com";
         window.open(url1);
         window.open(url2);
         window.open(url3);
    </script>

  • Can you open freehand files in CS6?

    can you open freehand files in CS6? I have been using both illustrator & freehand for 15 years & have thousands of work files being freehand.
    It seems very disappointing to have to keep an old version of illustrator just to open these files. I also find it interesting that many of the key tools that freehand had over illustrator are not translated into the newer versions of illustrator. Something simple like you still can't have a unique picture bullet • before text in illustrator. In freehand you could cut & paste any graphic into the text you were designing.

    No. The conversion plugin didn't make it into CS6 so the last import function was CS5.5 
    It seems very disappointing to have to keep an old version of illustrator just to open these files.
    At this point, it is the only way to make your files convert into Illustrator although I've had some luck with exporting to EPS or (if your FH graphics are simple enough) save as AI format. Keep your eyes on this project however : http://www.stagestack.com/

    As a fellow FreeHand user, I couldn't agree more. Other users of both programs have said this endlessly over the years here. A litany of features are still m.i.a. since FHMX was acquired years ago... including inline graphics. It's almost comical.

  • Can I open raw files using photoshop elements

    Can I open raw files using photoshop elements

    Yes, depending on the Camera Model and version of PSE.
    All camera makers like to make slight changes to the RAW format for their new models. Adobe then take a few months to produce a camera RAW plug-in to process the new format.
    Give you PSE version and camera model and we could be more help.

    It's also possible to copy from AI and paste into ID, but for a complete illustration I don't recommend it.

    start bar.htmnl will start your registered browser etc.

  • Can i open a file using applet?

    Hi,
    I try to open a file using applet.. but an error said "access denied(java.io.FilePermission tempecg.out, read) ...."
    tempecg.out is the file that I want to read.. below is part of my code.. what should I do...?
    currently the file is in my harddisk, next time will be linked using URL, will this be another problem?
    thanks!
    public void run()

    try
    LineNumberReader lr = new LineNumberReader(new FileReader("tempecg.out"));
    while (dv.size() < 240)

    Thread.sleep(2000);
    } catch (InterruptedException e) {}

    Hi pjustin1,
    you must use the policytool.exe given with JDK 1.2.x (or more).
    and with this tool you must add a permission on file (FilePermission) you want to access.

  • Can't open powerpoint files in keynote since Mountain Lion upgrade

    Not having much luck and not sure which forum to post in as this could be a Mountain Lion issue, an iWork issue, but is also an iWork and/or IOS6 issue!
    Until last week I had Lion on iMac and IOS5 on iPad. I was able to log on to my work network server (school network, I am a teacher) and open powerpoint, word or excel files in keynote, pages or numbers on my iPad. I then upgraded to IOS6 and now none of the files will open up on my iPad. I get the open in screen when I choose a file to open, then nothing happens.
    In the meantime, I upgraded my iMac from Lion to Mountain Lion. Since I was having problems accessing my work files and viewing them on my iPad, I decided to buy Keynote on my iMac in the hope that I could get on with some work on iMac rather than iPad. I logged on to my school server and tried to open a powerpoint file and for some reason it downloads it as a pptx.exe and if I try to open it I get an error message saying "You can't open the application xxx.pptx.exe because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on OSX". It shouldn't be a .exe file it should just be a powerpoint file! When I open Keynote and look for available files on my iMac, the file I just downloaded is greyed out.
    Hmmmmm so I have an iMac, an iPad, two versions of the Keynote app (plus numbers and pages on the ipad) and can't open any of my files from my school network. That seems a lot of money in one pot Apple and something has changed from Lion to Mountain Lion, and from IOS5 to IOS6 which is preventing me from doing my work. IOS5 allowed me to open any ppt, xls, doc, pptx, xlsx, docx file from my school network so why since upgrading to IOS6 can I suddenly not open them??
    Now having forked out for Keynote on my iMac, I have the same problem.
    I am able to open attachments in emails and I am able to log on to the school VLE and access and open files. So it is just something to do with opening from the normal file system that I can't do.
    I posted in the iPad and iWork forum and had no replies. However, Apple iWork team have contacted me after reading my post re the iPad issue of opening files from my network. I've provided info to them and am waiting for a response, but in the meantime I have now discovered there is also an issue on my iMac. Hopefully they will read this too or someone else will perhaps know what is going on.
    It is a worry that I can't do any work using my Apple products seeing as I have bought them! I have had to go back to bringing my windows laptop home everyday which I hope is a short term solution. I have loved the fact that I could access everything on my school network from my iPad in the past and not have to drag a laptop around. I am also worried that this means pupils can't access the files too if they are using Macs, iphones, ipads etc and have upgraded to Mountain Lion or IOS6.
    Hoping someone can help
    Thanks in advance

    Thanks for the response but I think you've misunderstood the problem. I can not open any type of PowerPoint file off my server in keynote. This includes .ppt and .pptx files. (Also includes .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx in pages and numbers).
    Even if what you said worked it would take forever to go through every file and save them all as ppt 2007. Plus of course, I don't know what files I will need when. There are hundreds of resources I need to access when I'm at home. I need the flexibility to view the files when i need to and on the go. Normally I can download them off my school network on to my iPad in keynote and edit them then I email them back to myself ready to use the next day or to save back to my network. Currently I can not download any Microsoft office file. So I am now forced to have to lug my laptop home everyday, rendering my iPad and iMac useless. I can't pre-empt what I'll need and save it as .ppt as that is completely inflexible and that won't open anyways as this is not an issue with the version of PowerPoint file. This is an issue with how all Microsoft files are downloading from my school network to my iPad and iMac. I want Apple to allow this to work like it used to before the upgrades in operating systems. I wish I hadn't upgraded as it worked perfectly. :(

  • After 7.01 upgrade, can't open PowerPoint files from Mail

    After updating 4th gen iPad to iOS 7.01, PowerPoint slides attached to emails won't open.  Prior to the upgrade, I could double click on a PowerPoint attachment, which would proceed to download and then open it.  It also will not open in Quickoffice either.

  • Can't open PSD files using "Open With..." feature in 3rd party programs.

    I use MediaPro to manage my media assets and it allows me to pass files to PE10 with an "Open With..." feature.  So I can have a file selected in MediaPro, and then open that file with PE by using this feature.  It worked great with PE8, but for some reason I cannot get it to work with PE10.  When I use the feature, PE10 opens, but to a blank page - the actual image fails to come into the program.
    I know the problem is NOT with MediaPro, since this worked flawlessly with PE8.  The problem appears to be with PE10.  Any ideas???
    Carl...

    If this is on a mac, my guess is that you are choosing the obvious file as your external editor rather than the correct one. You want this one:
    The file at the top level of the PSE 10 folder is just an alias to the welcome screen.

  • Can't open pmd files using InDesign

    hi all
    I have a few pmd files created back in 1996 using Mac at the time, can someone help me to open the files or convert it so I can see them in Indesign please?
    Thanks

    I think there are two main reasons to reopen old PMD files. (1) Make new PDFs or ePUBS for tablets or (2) republish the publication, new edition etc. What I found is that we never know if a PMD will open whit In Design or not. If you did the right thing when you worked with Page Maker you should have saved your publications "packaged" ie, with pics, arts and fonts, using an option at PM "save" dialog. If you did so MAY BE your are half the way. As I noticed in other posts and forums, In Design needs that PMD, pics and fonts to be in the same directory. When you closed the files in PM, your disc contains PM, in root but pics and fonts each in their own directory, so, ID will not open and probably loop and stall without giving you any tip of what you are doing wrong. Create a correct directory at you computer and don't try to open from CDs or worst: old zip discs an even 3 1/4 rigid discs. Install all the fonts used at your PMD work. As Adobe's faqs say, In Design will open PM 6.5 up only.
    If you did the wrong things some years ago, o-ho... I are something lost. Is you do not know the what fonts to install and have no 1990s and 2000s font discs you have nothing to try with In Design.
    PM has the "conflict font" dialog, ever opening the files closed without proper fonts save too. ID has not (for PMD files) and crashes. I have CS5 installed. I found that some times I do what I said above and the file opens, other times, not.
    But there is 100% fail safe thing to do. Perhaps you have at the bottom of an old box your Page Maker installation disc. I found mine 6.5 and 7.0. Ok they where developed for Windows 3.1 (anyone remember?) and Intel 386 and 486 CPUs. But SURPRISE! At least Page Maker 7.0 installs and works perfect in a i7 (fast one with 8 gb), two screens, fast graphic cards and amazingly, Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bits without need of any reverse compatibility trick or system.
    So, I installed 7.0, installed the fonts, and opened PMDs at PM, not at IN. It works! It's the ONLY SOLUTION I FOUND for unable to open PMD files in In Design.
    But about the goals?  You will be really amazed how fast PM 7.0 works in a modern machine. I prepared a 360 pages book with some 60 pics to be printed as PDF. The i& took an impressive low 2.8 seconds to close the file and another 15 seconds to create the PDF with Nitro Pdf Creator (freeware), and this is the very point.
    As you remember, during PM era, you have to export for PDF via Adobe Acrobat Distiller that was very slow at the machines at the time. I did not tried to reinstall early 2000s Distiller because we know the amount of incompatibilities of Acrobats, and Readers, and Distillers. Old Distiller possibly will crash your actual Acrobat Reader. Then use PRINT, not EXPORT TO PDF, installing a freeware pdf printer as Primo PDF or it's big sister Nitro PDF. The Page Maker printing dialog permits to choose your PDF settings as exact size of the paper and color separation to bureaus print. Very simple and fast.
    So I am printing old books an articles as PDFs with PM 7.0 an then converting to ePUB using another great freeware called Calibre.
    I hope this can save a lot of time for someone and make people able reuse their old PMD files ever.
    If you did not work wiht this stuff pre In Design an have no PM installation disks, ok, you could blame the market that do not offers old "used" software, that sometimes can save the day. Ask for friends is they have a copy of PM 7.

  • Can't open pdf files using lion

    Hi!
    I really hoping someone can help me here. I can't seem to open PDF files. I get the spinning beachball for a while then the screen freezes.
    Is there a workaround for this?
    Many thanks in advance!
    Dave

    Choose one of the pdfs and Get Info "cmd-i". Is it set to Open With "Priview"? If not choose preview then Change All.
    If that's not it create a new User go to System Preferences > Users & Groups > "+" (make it an admin acct) and test the apps in this new account, if they work the problem is isolated to your User and not systemwide. Also put some pdf files in Shared folder, so you'll have some to test in the new account.
    If the issue is limited to your user account try starting up in Safe Mode  (It will take more time to startup because it runs a directory check.)
    If your apps functions correctly that way, go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> Login Items and remove them. Boot normally and test.
    If the issue is systemwide then, you may be able to repair by booting cmd-r to your recovery Volume and re-installing Lion. This will be an "install in place" and shouldn't effect your data and settings.

  • HELP...HELP...Can't open audio files using search...

    For whatever reason I can't open the audio files with the search tab located in the browser window. When I click a category like drums or horns it will list the different audio files below in RED, but won't let me select them and/or play them. At the very bottom of the page it does display the correct path name for that file.
    However when I click the file browser tab and go through the proper path directories it will list the files below in BLACK and allow me to select and/or play the audio file. It also displays the same correct path and directory information at the bottom of the window.
    Why won't it do this in the SEARCH tab, and why does it display all of the files in red??

    Where you have the sound-list in STP (the red ones) you also have at the top right something like -settings- or -advanced- (i have a non english-version...). There you will find a list of the places on your hard-drives where STP is looking for the files. Just let STP update all the different locations (it also can be one folder only - the folder where all your sounds are - but you can have sound-folders for STP on any Harddrive attached to your mac - without a limit so far i know). If you have sounds in other folders you can add these folders and let STP update these folders too.
    Hope this helped...

  • Can you open ID files with any other apps?

    I was a subcontractor for a printer. The printer's client requested the production files. I package the files. Five books. Each folder contains ID file, art, supplied word docs, and exported PDF. The client calls printer and says they all open but one. I open it, check it, email it. She calls me this morning to tell me the one file still won't open. I asked her what version of CS she has and she says she doesn't have InDesign. I tell her it's impossible to open ID file without ID. She goes off on me for questioning her, blah, blah, blah. Anyway, can someone tell me if it's possible she somehow opened the other 4 files somehow in some conversion app. The only thing I could think of is if they have QX and used markzware ID2QX plug in from within QX. I'm in the process of repackaging the files so all the ID files, PDFs, Word Docs, Art, Covers are all in separate folders.
    For the record, I opened all 5 ID files on my PC before sending to the client so the files aren't corrupt.

    My arrangement with this printer is that I surrender production files. Another part of the job was that I have to return LIVE paginated word docs to the client for future editing. In addition, the word docs are in Spanish and the client was very specific about page breaks. Furthermore, even though there are 5 books, I get Spanish word docs from 7 people. The word files come to me formatted. Almost as clean as my ID files would be. So I've been editing the word docs, exporting to PDF and placing those into ID.  I paginate and add art to fill in the holes as per sample books provided. So the layout files contain nothing but PDFs and filler art. It was the only way I could think of to give the client back word docs paginated specifically as they were given to me.
