I'm also unable to open this file with pptview 8.0 (PowerPoint Viewer 97). I suspect it's unable to open files created by recent versions of PowerPoint. If you find out which version of PowerPoint created this file, send me a note. I'll keep a list of which versions of PowerPoint files pptview 8.0 can open. There's a newer version, PowerPoint Viewer 2003, but I've been unable to get it to run under wine, so far. I know other people have been able to though. Cheers, Shaun
