114796 2003-01-18 00:32:00 tried linux lately? BillGates (2238)
114797 2003-01-18 00:42:00 That's not a particularly helpful reply Bill.

Try saving the pps file to your hard disk then opening it. If it still won't open, I'd say the file is corrupt

Can you open a *.pps file?

114799 2003-01-18 22:22:00 .pps files are a new type of M$ Powerpoint file and can be opened by more recent versions of Powerpoint (my version 4 can't do it). I believe the Microsoft website has a free viewer available (I don't know what its name is) which will open the files if you do not have Powerpoint. In this case it might be worth setting up a file association in Windows for opening .pps files. If you do not know how to do this check out the FAQs on this site or post back.

HTH. I think you will find this more useful than comments about Linux.
