Unless you had a trial version only this may have been unwise as both
Office 2003 and OpenOffice.org can work side by side on your computer.
It is the pps ext that I cannot open.
.PPS files are not supported AFAIK as they are completed slideshow
files. You may need to convert them back to .PPT files which are supported.
I have included this extension in my Folder Option s folder, but to
no avail. How can I create an association for pps exts in Impress?
PS how are the Canaries doing?
I was a supporter when they first got into the first div.
Canaries? Que?

Your correspondent may think, because you quote Julian of Norwich,
that you may support her local football team (see

on the terraces for their first match, in fact ...
Oh, and by the way: I don't think you need to "convert" .pps files to
.ppt, since I believe they are the same thing. The different
extension merely signals to Powerpoint that the author wants the file
to display rather than open for editing. Impress can open .pps files
unchanged; or they can open automatically in Impress if the extension
is simply changed. This is one situation in which simply changing an
extension works!
