How do I setup Power Point 2003 to open files
automatically? When I try to open a PP file I get this
window with a list of programs available to open it but
Power Point is not even listed so I have to open the
program and then open the file which is pretty annoying.
Thank you

Just to double-check, did you look under the Ms in the program list? PPT 2003 is listed as Microsoft Office PowerPoint. (I know it's easy to miss in the list of programs if you have a lot of programs installed, because I've done that more than once!)

Click to expand...

Do you have PowerPoint? Some versions of Office 2003 don't include it.
Can you start it independently (that is, without doubleclicking a PPT file)?

If so, the file associations are probably messed up. Start PPT, then do Help,
Detect And Repair. See if that fixes the problem.
