Download Not Working

N

Norsk

I have PPT2003 and am on the Microsoft template site downloading a design
template. Error message appears saying "Power Point could not be found".

The only difference I see between this and other files is that this is a
..cab file. My other templates are .ppt.

I was able to download the file to my desktop but PPT won't open it.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

A CAB file is not readable by PowerPoint. Templates will download as .POT
or .PPT files. Perhaps if you tell use which template file it is and the
URL where you are finding it, we can better identify where the problem is
occurring.

The site address is...
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/TC011408021033.aspx?CategoryID=CT011404831033

After clicking "Download Now", I am directed to a page titled Template
Download which says PowerPoint was not found on your computer. From this page
I followed the directions and clicked "Download Now" which allowed me to save
it to my computer. The file types it allows are .cab and "all types". I tried
saving it as both. When I try to open it, it won't open.

When you click on the download link, this opens PowerPoint on your system.
What you need to do then, is click on save, give it a name other than
presentation1 and save it as a template file (.pot)
