My powerpoint icon seems different then others. There is a llittle box in
the coner of the Powerpoint Icon. When i double-click on it, it opens as an
open file box and whatever file i open it says that it can't find the file.
Also, click on my removable disk, that already has a Powerpoint file on it,
to open it. It goes to the slide show presentation and editing it is not an
option.

Can you help because i need to finish a project?

What is the filename?

does it end in .ppt or .pps

You may need to 'show the 3 letter extension'

Hi

Could you just have the free viewer? You won't be able to edit if so.
