Hi John,

first suggestion is to make certain the extension .ppt or .pps is on the document's file name. This is usually required now-a-days. You should be able to open it by simply double clicking on the icon.

Second suggestion. If you drag the document from the e-mail onto the desktop. Click on it and type apple + i can you tell it to open it with PowerPoint?

                      Regards,
                      Eugene

Hi Wamuggers
I have a new Intel iMac with Leopard. I used to be able to open pps files on email attachments by dragging them into the PowerPoint icon in the dock. Now, when I do this, the trial version of iWork opens. I trashed iWork and now "the file cannot be read" appears. My table lamp iMac with Leopard opens the same attachment as it always did. Should I re-install Leopard or any
other suggestions?
Cheers
John
