Can't open powerpoint (Office, installed, Windows, click)

[KsStorm]

I just set up my new PC and trying to open a Powerpoint for school. I downloaded it, but for some reason Powerpoint doesn't automatically open it, & I can't find it on the list when it says "browse for..." etc. Would LOVE any help,thanks! I'm using Office '07 by the way,which seems to have installed fine.

Have you checked your file assocations? You didn't mention which OS you are using and the steps are different in each one.

If it isn't on the list under "browse for..." you should be able to manually browse to the exe by going to c:\program files\microsoft office\office12\powerpnt.exe (or something similar).

Download the file again and pay attention to where it's being saved.

Alternatively search for the file name on your computer. Click the "Microsoft globe" and put the file name in the search box. When you find it record where it is.

Go into Powerpoint and do a Save As from the File drop down menu. Write down where it looks when you ask it to save. Go into windows Explorer (or My Computer) and move the file from the location where the search found it to the default location Powerpoint uses.

In the future when you download Powerpoint files from the Internet put them in the default location.
