I have a .ppt saved as a .pps on a cd but the computer that does not have pp indicates that windows xp can not recognize this format and it will not run in media player either. Any suggestions?

TIA,
Deana

Hello Deana,

You will have to install the PowerPoint Viewer on the system that does not
have PowerPoint. The version of the viewer you should install will depend
on the version of PowerPoint used to author the presentation.

If you used PowerPoint 2000 or earlier to author the presentation, you
should use PowerPoint Viewer 97

If you used PowerPoint 2002 or later to author the presentation, you should
use PowerPoint Viewer 2003.
