I downloaded Microsoft Office 2003 Student and Teacher edition. I want to
create powerpoint slides with Microsoft Powerpoint. When I save the file, it
offers powerpoint 95 and powerpoint 95-97 & 2003, but when I click those
options, it warns me that I might lose some info, yada yada. I save it
anyway. When I go to open it, it's a corel presentations file! Why?? It loses
the neat functions I created in Powerpoint. How can I disable word perfect
without deleting it? Or, how do I make Microsoft products the default?

First....

Never, ever save as powerpoint 95 or powerpoint 95-97 & 2003 unless you know
that someone is de3finitely going to use ppt 95 (not very likely). Just use
the first option "presentation *.ppt"

This will give you smaller files but if it doesnt also solve the problem,
right click an icon for a presentation > properties and check that "open
with" = powerpoint. Change if it doesnt!

Did that answer the question / help?
