Greetings,

I understand how to embed a PowerPoint ppt file into a Word document and
display it as an icon. I also can do the same with Excel workbook. Here is
the question. When you double click on the Excel icon, Excel opens and is
ready for use. When you double click the PowerPoint icon, the file opens as
a show. I want my readers to be able to print out both the Excel and
PowerPoint information. Is there a setting to get PowerPoint icons to behave
like Excel icons?


Thanks for your help!

Is it embedded as a "pps" file or "ppt".

PPS = PowerPoint Show

What happens after you test with both file formats?

The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his
absolute property - either as a child, a wife, or a concubine - must delay
the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a
great power among men.

I get the same results if I embed a ppt or pps file. FYI I am using Word
2000 and Power Point 2000 should that make a difference.

Thanks for your help and questions!!

IE creates an instance of whatever program is need to run a file.
But, it it is on the user's PC it open the program.
If my PC has Excel, then Excel opens.
If my PC does not have Excel, then IE opens an instance of Excel to view the
file.

You may want to test that on your brother in law's PC whose does not have
Excel and watch the behavior when he opens your attached file.

When I click on a JPG file, Paint Shop Pro opens.
When my grand daughter clicks on a JPG file, she does not have PSP so the
XP picture viewer opens.

Ray I got this solved by someone in one of these user groups. Go to 'My
Computer' on your desktop and click it and go to 'Tools' on the top menu and
select 'Folder Options' then on that menu select the appropriated .ppt or
extension of the file you are using and then click 'Advanced' in this window
select 'Browse in same window' and the ok and close out. Now it will open as
the application and not a view.

Bad bookmark behavior in word is solve similarly and other apps bad behavior.

Jim, I tried this however it didn't make a difference. I would anticipate
this might work if the problem was opening the files in IE. In my case the
files are embedded in a Word Document.

Is the full verison of Powerpoint on the pc and is the file extension type
set to have Powerpoint open "ppt" files?

Sometimes there is just a viewer..maybe the "pps" extension is being
assigned to a PowerPoint viewer.
