.PPT Format (Heirloom)
Howdy Heirloom,
I get some emails from vendors from time to time in odd formats which software I don't use and by chance one day I forwarded the thing to my yahoo account and low and behold it poped up in one of those little windows that displays attachments. Sometimes I have to save em in a BMP format but thats better than nothing.. :-) Hope it works for you.. RTS "Heirloom" wrote in message ... Rocky, Are you saying you can send a Power Point file to yourself at a Yahoo! address and it will translate to a readable format???? If so, that's just too cool. I dl'd the Power Point viewer and have to save the file someplace before I can open it with the viewer (can't open it from the email in OE, for some reason). I will try that the next time I get something in PP format....thanks for the tip. Heirloom, old and OMG!....a new trick!...who says an old dog can't..... "RockyTSquirrel" wrote in message news:PXGxj.54289$yE1.28270@attbi_s21... I kinda cheat and email them to myself at yahoo, their server will translate them to a viewable format i can then save to my puter.. RTS "Mike M" wrote in message ... David H. Lipman wrote: Assuming it isn't a PowerPoint 2007 document. Do people actually use Office 2007? g However don't most O2007 processes have a different extension? docx rather than doc, xls? rather than xls, etc.. OK, now I've checked I see that PowerPoint 2007 specific files have a ppsm, ppsx, ppthtml, pptm, pptmhtml or pptx extension so AAH should be safe using the PowerPoint viewer to access a file with a ppt extension. -- Mike Maltby |

I've got a copy here of Office Home and Student 2007 which I won, haven't
installed yet, saving it until such time as I can have a new machine. g Joan "Mike M" wrote in message ... David H. Lipman wrote: We are creatures of habit. I still use, and enjoy, Quicken for DOS v8 for savings, checking and money market accounts. :-) I'm not certain about creatures of habit but rather feel, as I suspect you do as well from your comment, that if a product does what I want it to do then there is little point in upgrading it unless by continuing to use that older product I am exposing myself to greater risk than I am prepared to accept. However being aware of the limitations and weaknesses of a software product and making a risk analysis based on ones competence and awareness means that using an older product isn't always as risky as some might think. As for your using Quicken for DOS v8 you are way in advance of myself. All I use are a few Excel spreadsheets in a workbook and enter data by hand. OTOH perhaps this shows what a simple life I now lead having been retired (due to ill-health) for the past eleven years. -- Mike Maltby |

Just saw a CPU this weekend with Vista Home Premium, a Compaq (cpu only, no
mon, keyboard, etc.), with 160G HD, 1G Ram, on board everything, DVD Burner, network card, $268 U.S. I thought that was pretty amazing, even for a cheapo cpu! Heirloom, old and almost bought it for a backup! "AAH" wrote in message ... Mike and Others Thanks all of you. "Mike M" wrote in message ... AAH wrote: Any user to help to open the .PPT format files?
