MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / May 2007ALL PowerPoint files converted to viewer format
Please help! I launched the PowerPoint viewer to open a file I downloaded which would not open in PowerPoint. I thought perhaps it was developed in a later version than I have (I am still using PowerPoint 2002). Unfortunately, now ALL my PowerPoint files are associated with the viewer. I cannot get any of them to open in PowerPoint unless I specifically choose "open with..." using a right click. Please, please help me find a way to re-associate my files with PowerPoint 2002 and not the viewer. Thank you!

You're already halfway there, Susan -- you have gone to the Open With command from the Context Menu. Now keep going: 1. Click Choose Program from the bottom of that menu. 2. Find your version of PowerPoint. It will probably be listed on the next screen, but if not, click Browse and find it in Program Files. 3. Check the Always use... box. Problem solved...
