I am not exactly sure what you mean so, if I get this wrong, please try
again or, if you prefer to discuss your problem in Spanish, visit

If you want OpenOffice *automatically* to open Powerpoint files then you
must "associate" them with Impress. I quote from the Help:
==== begin quote ===
To change the association of Microsoft Office file name extensions to
open the files either in OpenOffice.org or in Microsoft Office, using
Microsoft Windows:
1. Exit OpenOffice.org and the OpenOffice.org Quickstarter.
2. Run the OpenOffice.org Setup program:
Click the Windows *Start* button, choose *Control Panel*, click
*Add or Remove Programs*, select the OpenOffice.org 2.2 entry,
click *Change*.
3. In the OpenOffice.org Setup, check the *Modify* option and click
*Next* until you see the file types page.
4. Select or deselect the file types. Click *OK* and complete the
OpenOffice.org Setup program.
===== end quote ===
This works for each type of file - .ppt/.pps, .doc, .xls and so on. If
you are not using Windows the procedure will be different but the idea
is the same.
If you want .pps files to run automatically like under Powerpoint you
can install the AutoRun extension (free) from
