MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / July 2007issue serving powerpoint files from windows-live-id site
We have a large web site used by Microsoft sales people. This site is protected by windows live id. The site provides links to and hosts sales materials - including office documents, excel sheets, powerpoints, etc. People using Office 2007 have had an issue opening PowerPoint files. When they click a PowerPoint link, and choose "Open" instead of Save, the PowerPoint file opens with a bunch of weird images in it. After further inspection - saving the file as html and inspecting the source - it is the Windows-Live-ID sign-in page. Apparently PowerPoint is trying to serve this page. This does not happen with word, excel, etc - only with powerpoint - and only in Office 2007. It is as if PowerPoint does not have access to the user's credentials from internet explorer. Since this is not a public site we could ask our users to install a patch or change some settings... Any ideas of a fix or work-around? Talked to Microsoft Support and they pointed me to this knowledgebase article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/935869/en-us The associated hotfix fixed my issue. > We have a large web site used by Microsoft sales people.
