MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / March 2008Attaching .ppt to email from presentation
There is no problem with the saving of the file. It is being saved as a PowerPoint 1997-2003 (.ppt). The problem is not the saving and viewing of the file. I am more concerned with the fact that when I open a saved .ppt file in PowerPoint 2007 and send to email, the file extension is changed to .pptx and the file name is changed. Has anyone had any of these issues also? Hi, I can't reproduce it here. When I open a presentation (it opens in compatibility mode) and send it stays as a ppt file. It could be that the file is getting automatically converted when you open?

I can't get it to reproduce here.I tried with a presentation that was originally created in an earlier version of PowerPoint and also with a presentation created in 2007 and saved as an earlier version, and both tries resulted in the .PPT extension being attached to the email. Have you tried the Diagnose and Repair in PowerPoint? In the interim, saving the presentation as an earlier version, and manually attaching it to an email would still work.

When you say saving it in an earlier version are you talking about Office 2003 or saving it as 1997-2003 compatible? If you mean using an earlier version of Office, then it cannot be done since Office 2007 is the only option on the PC. We have been saving it as 1997-2003 compatible format (.ppt). I have tried the Diagnose and Repair in Power Point. The problem still occurs. This has happened on at least three end users PCs. Security is different on all three user profiles. I am certain that it is an issue with Power Point as I can attach the file directly from Windows Explorer and it will attach fine. When sending to mail (Lotus Notes) using the send to option in Power Point, it changes the file name and changes the extension from .ppt to .pptx. Has anyone been able to reproduce this issue?

Has anyone had any of these issues also? > I ran into this same problem. Created a set of slides. Clicked the upper-left icon to do a SAVE. Gave it a name without providing the extension. It was saved as a .pptx file which could then not be opened by a friend who received it in an email. I then had to do a SAVE-AS into 2003 format in order for my friend to be able to view it. Why is MS doing this!!!! Ticks me off big time. It should be very intuitive to (a) know that there are new extensions; (b) give me the option of selecting them; (c) show the extensions in the total file name - which it does not do even when I select the view "Details"; and (d) NOT automatically go to some new format without prompting the user. Austin - you say this is a knonw bug with Lotus Notes, where did you find this information? I could not find any information on this at all at the Lotus website or any message boards. Any direction on this would help very much. Where did you find the information on the bug with Lotus Notes? I have searched high and low and could not find any solution to this problem.
