Yogi, On a Mac, you just drag the .PPT file's icon onto the AOO icon. It'll convert it, load it, and start it automatically. Windows is probably similar. There's a way to inform Windows that you want to open a file with a specific program. Just use that.
Alternatively, fire up AOO, and use the File->Open dialog to select your .ppt file. There's no other action you have to take. Don't overcomplicate things.
