Thanks a bunch Tim! Our problem was we had "Microsoft PowerPoint XML" (with a
capital "P" on the second "p" in "Powerpoint") for both the name and the
description in our bitstreamformatregistry table. Once I changed both to
"Microsoft Powerpoint XML", our .pptx files filtered successfully!
Thanks again,
Sue

Hi Sue,
The format registry should have two PPT entries:
PPT
---
Name: Microsoft Powerpoint
MimeType: application/vnd.ms-powerpoint
Description: Microsoft Powerpoint
Support Level: Known
File Extensions: ppt
PPTX
----
Name: Microsoft Powerpoint XML
MimeType:
application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation
Description: Microsoft Powerpoint XML
Support Level: Known
File Extensions: pptx
This information can also be found in the
'[dspace]/config/registries/bitstream-formats.xml' file:
https://fisheye3.atlassian.com/browse/dspace/dspace/trunk/dspace/config/registries/bitstream-formats.xml?hb=true#to142
