thank you. how long does the reply have to be to go through?

Someone would have to have PowerPoint on their computer to open a PowerPoint attachment, or at least a program that will allow you to open a Power Point file.

i have that. i wanted to forward a power point presentation to here, but it seems i can't do it. oh, well. i deleted it.

You can save the PowerPoint file as a .jpg file.... or a .pdf file.... and be able to upload it.

To do this.... Open the PowerPoint presentation..... perform a "File".... "Save As"....

Make sure to change the "file type" to the type you prefer.

wow!

when i receive them they take up the entire screen. i don't see a way to reduce them.

i just googled a different .pps and sent it to myself. it doesn't work with mac. there's probably a way, but i don't know enough about how to do it.

An alternative to placing the PowerPoint file on this site, would be to place it out on one of the free cloud file servers and just create a link to that site.

BTW, your other issue is due to the fact that a ".pps" (or the newer ".ppsx") file is a PowerPoint Show file -- not a PowerPoint Presentation. A Show file is automated. If you have PowerPoint, then you can convert it to a PowerPoint presentation file by opening it in PowerPoint, and then using "File->Save As" and changing the file format to ".ppt" (or ".pptx). See the following article ...
http://www.ehow.com/how_5548073_convert-pps-ppt.html

If you don't have PowerPoint, then you could convert it in OpenOffice or Google's Office. Although those will read PowerPoint files, they would probably save the file in a different format and extension than PowerPoint.

does that work the same way on a mac? when i open something in PowerPoint, the ..... slideshow or whatever you want to call it .... opens up to fill my entire screen. i don't have any access to 'file>save as' anymore, since that's on my now-covered toolbar.
