How can I get a Power Point (pps) to open?

Hello. I have just upgraded to 10.4.11 from 10.2.8. Prior to upgrading, I was able to open power point presentations (pps)that were sent to me. Now they will not open. I believe I used PowerPoint Viewer 98 before, but maybe it wont work with 10.4.11? Would appreciate any assistance on this. Thank you.

It even works in 10.4! I just figured something out (after getting help in another post, I used the same system)---I moved the .pps out of my Mail file onto my Desktop. I then clicked on GET INFO. When that came up, the box marked OPEN WITH, showed 'None', but there was a drop down box which gave the option to go to the Hard Drive and pick one. I chose my Microsoft Windows 98 Power Point Viewer (which I believe is still available as a download) and it is now the default. I then clicked out of the GET INFO option, tried to open the .pps and it opened as it did before on OS2.8. So maybe I solved my own problem! Cheers.

  • Pleasanton store always overcrowded and noisy. They no longer offer one hour one on one intro session. I can't hear or think with all the commotion in the store.  How can I get an appt. before the store opens?

    The Pleasanton store is always overcrowded and noisy. I can't hear and can hardly think in there. They no longer offer a 1 hr. one on one intro session. I want to buy a mac this week but I won't if I can't try one and get my questions answered. How can I get an intro session before the store opens?

    If you know which computer you want you can order it online at the online Apple Store. As for learning your new computer Apple provides many online tutorials for people make the switch from a PC. Here are some starter sites that I'd recommend you bookmark and use.
    Switch 101, Mac 101 & Find Out How Video tutorials.
    If you prefer to purchase directly from a brick and mortar Apple Store you are very fortunate to live in the Bay Area, where there are many stores to choose from. When you arrive tell the receptionist you want to purchase an iMac and they will have help you get a sales professional to help you. You can also use the new system Apple implemented this past week at any of the display counters to request a sales person come to you. Again the receptionist can help you get started on that too. Once a system is purchased and you buy the one on one service the one one one service is executed where it's more quiet than inside the store. I frequent the Valley Fair store in Santa Clara on occasion, this store is extremely busy and I see people receiving one on one service all the time within the mall at dedicated tables.

  • How can I get a floating point value from Labview 6 into VB 6

    I need a numeric value from Labview and use it in my Visual Basic program. How can I do that...
    Thanks

    Hello jardinpaul,
    You can use Visual Basic to call a LabVIEW DLL that you create from your LabVIEW VI. Take a look at this example on our website:

  • How can I get ANY power on my battery which has clearly died?

    I have seem to have used all the battery life in my macbook but I can't even get power when I'm plugged into the socket. Does this mean my battery has died only or does it mean my laptop is never going to start up again? Please help. I have work unfinished and urgently need it to be.

    Your Magsafe adapter may have died, also; I had to replace mine after 3 years or so - the darn thing ripped in half on me!
    If you can, try another Magsafe adapter. You should be able to bring the computer to an Apple store and have them check out the hardware if you don't have a spare adapter handy. Make sure you make an appointment with the Genius Bar or you may be waiting for a long time!
    Your hard drive should be OK if the only issue you're having is the computer refusing to power on at all. It's very easy to remove the hard drive in a MacBook (guide here, if you're interested; that's a guide for the non-unibody MacBooks but that website has a guide for all models), and you can either pop it into an external enclosure or use a SATA to USB adapter (like this) to hook it up to your new computer so you can retrieve the data.
    Best of luck!

  • How can i get "just 1 point data" a marker fr my instr?

    thanx you JAB for ur answer.but i 've already done all and i can display graph from my instrument.What i want is not th graph but the markers(just 1point data to display).Do you have an tip??

    Next time, post a response to the original question instead of starting a new thread. I was a little confused about your original question. If you want to read the position of a marker that your instrument is displaying, then you'll have to get out your instrument programming manual and see if there's a command to do that. If you gave us the name of the instrument, someone here might have experience with it and provide more help. If you have a marker position from an instrument and want to display it on your LabVIEW graph, you can use a cursor. Create a property node for the graph and you can set cursor position either by specifying either the array index (when cursor is locked to the plot) or an x and y position.

  • How can I get my instant message icon to open? Seems to be stuck.

    I wrote several instant messages this morning on my AirMac. No problem. Went back to read and respond to new IM, but IM icon will not open. If the IM comes in when I am on the computer, I can read it in the upper right hand corner of my MacBook Air before it goes away, but I cannot respond. Can anyone tell me how to open the Instant Message icon?

    Try clicking on the apple symbol at the top left of the screen and chosing "Force Quit" and then close IM.
    Once its closed it should reopen without a problem

  • How can I get Lightroom 5.7 into the "Open With" menu on an external Harddrive?

    Using Lightroom 5.7, I imported photo images as a .dng.  I edited the images in lightroom.  Then I dragged the file from the local Disk (C) to an external Hard drive (left panel of Library).  When I look in the External harddrive, I would like to see thumbnails of the images. I think I would like to open the images in Lightroom but I cannot get Lightroom into the "Open With" dropdown menu.  Photo shop, Adobe Reader and a bunch of Windows photo editing stuff is in there but I cant seem to get Lightroom into this menu. 

    The "open with" command is used to open images that are already in Lightroom in another external editor such as Photoshop or Photoshop Elements or some other photo editing program. And you are opening an image that you are already seeing in Lightroom. So Lightroom won't be on the list and cannot be on the list because you are already looking at the images in Lightroom.
    Concerning the images that you moved to the external hard drive, if you actually moved them using Lightroom then you should be able to see that external hard drive in the library module library tree and be able to choose that folder. Then the images will be in Lightroom and you can continue working on them. There doesn't need to be any "open with" to do that. If you moved those images some other way, please explain.

  • How can I get CS4 tools to work in Open GL?

    Facts--Bought CS4--installed fine--problem noted with pop up that my video card needed upgrading--looked on Adobe site for suitable video cards, talked with Dell--installed nVidia G9500 which I was told should solve all problems--reinstalled PHOTOSHOP CS4 number of times when subsequently program tools refused to work (example--clone brush shows area chosen but does not deposit chosen texture/color, brush won't put down color, etc)--found update for video driver and installed--CS4 tools worked for 5 min then stopped--repeated former steps of reinstalling. Talked with both Adobe and NVidia, each points the finger at the other. I'm a Photoshop professional and need this program for my work.
    I have multiple drive Dell XPS system, 4G RAM using WinXP32
    Any Windows/Photoshop genuises out there with answers that neither vendor can offer?
    Will be profoundly grateful!!!

    Did you go to the Nvidia website and download the newest drivers? You did say if it was a laptop or not. Here is the driver page for the card. Just run the driver update on the webpage again if you have a laptop.
