Outlook Express attachments

When I get an email with an attachment that is in Powerpoint I can't open it
until I save it. What can I do to be able to open it without saving? --

Found just by doing a search at Microsoft's huge support knowledge site
(http://support.microsoft.com; select advanced find, pick the program, enter
keywords).

I have gone into the site that you have outlined but I cannot see the
solution to my problem.

I will try to make the problem clearer. When I recieve an email with an
attachment in real player - that is no problem - but when the attachment in
in Microsoft Powerpoint - I can't open it - until I save it.

You should post this to the Outlook Express newsgroup which this is not. Also post
any error messages as per verbatim along with your version of windows and IE\OE.
