Thanks Eugene I "got info" OK and did as you suggested but still PowerPoint refuses to open. I will re-instal it and try that. The iMac suggests that the .pps file is corrupted but when I emailed it to the other iMac I could open it no problem. The new iMac has been plagued with quite a few minor glitches. I presume I could re-install Leopard on it in the hope that it might cure the glitches? Any further comments or suggestions? Cheers John
