Powerpoint Converts to .pdf Automatically - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Loup · 01-23-2006, 06:13 AM

I download PowerPoint slides for my classes. When I open (double-click) the class lesson, it opens in PowerPoint, then automatically converts the presentation into Adobe pdf. If I were to right-click and 'Open With' Powerpoint, it opens fine in ppt and no conversion takes place. Is there a way to make the double click open the PowerPoint without having the conversion take place?

you need to find the folder that the power point is in, go to Tools, Folder Options......

Then go to File Types

Then find the extension "PPT" and make sure "Microsoft PowerPoint Presentation" is selected as the program

if Adobe Acrobat is the program selected, change it to PowerPoint

if that doesn't do it, I guess you'll have to keep "Open With" going!
