On the new computer you put in our computer room, I am trying to

open a PowerPoint presentation someone sent me. But when I

double-click it, even though I see a dialog giving me a choice to Open

or Save it, when I click Open, I see a Save As dialog with .ppt as the

extension and the "Save as type:" field has only one choice and that is

"Microsoft Office PowerPoint 97-2003 Presentation (*.ppt)"

If I save it as that type it doesn't open in Outlook. If I go to where I saved it

and double-click it, it opens, but as a .ppt (not .pptx) file. If I click File > Save Attachments in the message and save it with .pptx extension, then go double-click it where I saved it, I get

the same Save As dialog. If I open PowerPoint first, I can use File > Open and open the .pptx version.

I looked in Add/Remove Programs and the "Compatibility Pack for the

Office 2007 System" is there.
