emailing power point

H

hsconstructors

my company has created a manual in power point. My boss emailed it to me to
fix for him, I fix all of the text boxes and straightened out the manual.
When I emailed it back to him nothing that i fixed shows up on his computer.
Does any body have a suggestion into how to fix this problem?

Asking the obvious, you did give it a new name and he knows it, right?

Lets start from scratch. Lets assume that you received the message and
opened the attached PowerPoint file. Once your changes were made you
clicked "File", "Save as" and saved it on your machine. Then you closed the
presentation and switched over to Outlook. There you selected the original
message and clicked the "Reply" button. You clicked the paperclip icon
(Attachment) and attached the new file that you saved on your hard drive.
You clicked "Send" and he now has the right one. Is this what you did? If
not, do this and it will be fine.

You can't simply open the presentation, make the changes, save them, then
reply to his message. You must attach the fixed file.

I have just received a ppt presentation as an attachment to outlook express.
It was sent from a XP Pro system and I have XP Home. I cannot open the file
BUT I CAN view it with the viewer.

Set a second time I still cannot read it even if it is saved to "C" drive.
It says it is not a PPT file

Now from the same person I have received more ppt files from other people
through his computer to mone. I can open and work on these.

Anyone know why??? PLEASE!!!

XP Pro and XP Home cannot open PowerPoint presentations. They are operating
systems. The PowerPoint viewer can will open it in the Slideshow mode, or
the full version of PowerPoint will open it in either the Edit mode or the
Slideshow mode.
