Thanks Kevin, Eugene, Severin and Stephen To answer your questions - I have Office 2002 which contains PowerPont. pps is the suffix of the file. Eugene I don't understand where I enter apple+i. Stephen, control click does not produce "get info" My main problem is that the table lamp iMac opens the attachment by just dragging it to the PowerPoint icon whereas the new Intel iMac does not open it any way I try. The two Macs have identical software installed. So I'm puzzled at the moment. Cheers John
