MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / March 2005pp2003 show now starts in IE rather than pp, why and how to stop .
pp2003 show now starts in IE rather than pp, why and how to stop. I develop PP shows .pps and distribute via a hyperlink in Outlook. Previously pp2000 shows would start Powerpoint on the viewer's system. Created pp2003 show, and now viewer's system with Office 2000 starts the pp 2003 show in Internet Explorer. Don't want that, I want the Powerpoint full screen for the shows. How do I stop pp2003 from directing IE to open the shows. That is most likely being controlled by a setting on the user's system and not within your control. See http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/FAQ00189.htm.

Older pps still show in Powerpoint on Office 2000 systems. Only pps created with PowerPoint 2003 cause the pps to run in I.E. MS kb291348 and kb 838028 seems to address the issue. Something within the pps created by PowerPoint 2003 is controlling. In KB838028, it talks about Office 2003 is designed to make a more collaborative workspace. In my case, that is too helpful. I want to disable/stop Powerpoint 2003 from causing IE to run the pps. How can I do that? > That is most likely being controlled by a setting on the user's system and not > within your control.

It talks about saving the presentation as a web page if you want to view it in Explorer, where you said you saved as a PPS. 838028 seems to nail it but it seems to me that it's your classic MS "You're in a helicopter" answer. (old joke, details on request) Chock-full of interesting facts but dang, there's no ANSWER in there. Or (to paraphrase an even older joke), no pony.

Try this, create a pps in PP2000, create a pps in PP2003, then access each via a hyperlink,and see what you get. Thanks Ken > > don't think so, checked the file types values on viewer's systems.

I uploaded the same file to my website and mailed myself a link to the URL and it also opens in PowerPoint at full screen. BTW, I get the same results with a presentation created in PowerPoint 2000. This makes perfect sense to me because it is controlled by the file extension, not by the version of PowerPoint that it was created in. Did you check the article - - http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;162059? Do you have the "Show" action for the PPS file extension set to PowerPoint and do you have the "Browse in same window" option UNchecked? > Sorry, I don't have access to an outward facing server.

To my knowledge no changes have been made anywhere, any pp2000 pps would open properly in Powerpoint. The first time I created a pps with pp2003, I.E. opened the pps on these w2k/pp2000 systems. > When I mail myself a link to a PPS file (created in PowerPoint 2003) on one of > my hard drives, receive and open the mail, and click on the link, it opens in [quoted text clipped - 64 lines] > >> PPTools: www.pptools.com > >> ================================================ > This makes perfect sense to me because it is controlled by the file extension, > not by the version of PowerPoint that it was created in. Seems to be what I'm seeing here, although as a link on a web page, what happens seems to be governed by browser settings and the version of PPT on the system too. If Baud had meant for us to live in confusion like this, he or she would have given us Microsoft. Oh. Wait. She or he did. > Did you check the article - - > http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;162059?

Email me a couple simple PPS files and I'll post them on my server so others here can test as well. steve at-sign pptools dot com I'll also create some myself ... [later] OK. http://www.rdpslides.com/pptonweb/ Four presentations, one each from PPT2000 and 2003, each saved as PPT and PPS. Here, whether locally or over the net, they all seem to behave the same. On any given PC. On a PC with 2003, if I choose Open, they open in the browser as a slideshow. On a different PC with 2000 and Opera, if I choose Open they open in PPT2000. Same PC, in Explorer ... "Your security settings don't allow you to blah blah blah ..." Your mileage will, of course, vary. But at least we're all looking at the same files. > Thanks > Ken [quoted text clipped - 34 lines] > > PPTools: www.pptools.com > > ================================================ ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ |
