How do I view Powerpoint files without Office and Keynote?

Someone sent me a Powerpoint file today. I was able to view it
using Keynote, but now my 30-day trial has started and I have no intention
of buying iWork.
I have Word2004, not Office2004, which will display Powerpoint files.
Microsoft used to have a free Powerpoint viewer pre-OS X. Is there anything in Tiger what will do this? If not, what would you recommend the next time I get a Powerpoint file?

Hi gwgoldb;
Sent it back and ask for them to send it in a different format.
If they insist on sending it to you in Powerpoint that is what the delete key is for. You might let them know that you intend to delete any future emailwith Powerpoint attachments.

How to view Powerpoint files without Office

Hi,
I just need to view a .ppt file on my Macbook (os x 10.5.2), and I tried to use the Powerpoint Viewer 98 for Mac from microsoft, but it is a classic application that is not supported on leopard. I also tried openoffice.org, but it converts the file poorly and leaves a lot of things out. Is there any other way to simply view a powerpoint on a mac without buying office or iwork?
Thanks

Looks like you have done your research and know what to look for. You are right, I couldn't find anything that would run under Leopard and view Powerpoint files unaltered.
If possible then have the sender of the file convert to it to a .pdf (Powerpoint 2007 can do this under windows).

I'm new to the Apple products. How can I view pdf files since Apple and Adobe don't play together?

I'm new to the Apple products. How can I view pdf files and videos since Apple and Adobe don't play together? Also, what operating system does the iPhone use? I'm a Windows person.

You may want to download and read the manual for your phone. It may answer a lot of the basic questions.

There is an app on your phone called "Mail". Yes, it's for reading your email.
Best of luck.

Whats happened to file sharing apps? how do i add save files in office HD, keynote, VLC etc.....seems to have disapered in itune 11...apple why do you do this?

whats happened to the file sharing apps after the itunes 11 update.
Im trying to move files in office HD, keynote and VLC.....this was easily done in previous version.
apply why do you do this? you always disapoint on updates and leave users high and dry.
someone please help.

Believe it or not File Sharing is there but in a slightly different location. But I was definitely confused and had trouble finding it when I looked because of the way iTunes has windows within windows.
Start iTunes 11 and connect your iPad.
Select your iPad. I choose to "View Sidebar" so my iTunes looks more familiar. So I select my iPad in the Sidebar.
I the main window I select Apps. And scroll down.
There are multiple sub windows within the main window. The first sub wind is Apps. If you scroll in the Apps window that's all you will see, your apps.
Move your cursor outside of the App window and the main window will scroll. Below the Apps sub window is another subwidow called File Sharing. That's where you'll find the familiar file sharing area.
Good lick,

Viewing Powerpoint files in quick view or any app

I cannot view powerpoint files from the mail application on my iPad Air (OS and apps up-to-date). When I tap to view I'm presented by a gray screen with the name of the file and the message "Office Open XML presentation" and then the size of the file in Kb. If I then try to open with another app, eg: Keynote or Powerpoint iPad edition then I get a message that the file is corrupted - that msg doesn't make sense. I used to be able to view PPT or PPTX no problem, it has started to happen since this last Christmas (not sure exactly when).
thanks for any help

Also, you can download these free MS Office apps (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) to view (but not create or edit) these files.

How to restore a control file without having its backup

Hi,
Can any one please suggest me how to restore a control file without having its backup.
Thanks

To add to what SB said, in years past the instructions for re-creating the control file manually were contained in the DBA Administration manual. It used to be and may still be common to be taking and saving a "backup control file to trace" for this purpose.
If you lost only the primary copy of the control file and it is an OS file then while the database is shutdown you can copy the secondary over the primary and then use if to start the database. If the control file is stored in ASM then there should be a way to perform the copy via ASM.
If you use rman for backups then a copy of the control file should be part of the backup process and you can retrieve it from the backup set then perform recovery using the backup control file though I do note the OP said something to the effect no backup exists. Still, I have knows of instances where the DBA did not realize that the backup set contained the control file and the spfile so I think this is worth mentioning just in case.

After downloading a pdf from a website, how can I view the file in Safari 6.0.4 (just as I can in Safari 5.0.6)? I bet that it's simple, but I've missed something, somewhere, and a solution will be greatly appreciated.

Hello Kirk,
Thank's for your efforts, and I just wish that this was the solution. Unfortunately, it isn't because, after double-clicking on the pdf in the website, it simply "opens" in another Safari window as a black screen - the pdf is there, somewhere, but not visible (either as an icon, or as a document).
When I right-click in the black Safari window, where the file is supposed to be, the only option available to display the file is to "Open file in Internet Explorer" (which is not what I want to do). Other options include saving or printing the pdf, which I don't want until I've confirmed that it's the form that I want. The same options are offered if I right-click on the file icon in the website.
Any other suggestions, please?

Need free OST viewer tool to help to view OST files without connecting to MS Exchange Server and MS Outlook.

Need free OST viewer tool to help to view OST files without connecting to MS Exchange Server and MS Outlook.

Hi Howard,
As I know, Microsoft does not provide any kind of inbuilt tool or free software to only view OST file, even without the connectivity with exchange server (Offline).
Try SysTools OST Viewer freeware which helps you to view all OST file save at your system in an easy way, whether you want to see the attachments or other items of OST file.
Note: This is a free inbuilt utility, but try it on your own risk as I am not much aware about it and its working. But this tool sounds good according to your requirement and hopefully it would give you 100% satisfaction.
Thanks

Flash CS6 cant open play SWF files without importing and destroying them, how can I get around this?

Flash CS6 can't open play SWF files without importing and destroying them, how can I get around this?
I'm just trying to preview an swf file in flash like I have with all previous versions.

What if my SWF loads external content from an online server?
Not only does the current flash player prohibit such activity, it doesn't even pop open an error anymore saying there was an error connecting to an online source.
Normally, I would simply drag the SWF into Flash and all connections would go through. I could see traces, errors, and experience no issues.
Now I can't even do that. So what then? You have crippled a fundamental use of the program, but THANK GOD we have that deco brush that nobody asked for.
And for the record, the nature of my work benefits from not necessarily allowing the Flash Player to connect to online content. The error it pops up? That's simply another method of error checking that I require. Updating the Flash Player options is not an option.
Why would you even remove this key feature from Flash anyways? It's been there for years ... has the ratio of people importing SWFs (a rather useless gesture in an increasing OOP world) really outweighed the people using Flash as a testing environment that much?
