I just upgraded Office 2003 to 2007 and find that I am unable to associate .pps files with Powerpoint 2007. I can open the files if I first open PowerPoint and then open the files, but I cannot open using the file icon.
I am using Windows 7, and the usual way via to associate programs: control panel>default programs>associate a file does not work. When I go to change the association, PowerPoint is not an available pick. When I browse to the Powerpoint exe file in office12 folder, it will not take. Nothing happens.
I have tried right clicking and using “open with”. Curiously, PowerPoint is not an option, and when I browse for another program I get into the same unsuccessful loop as using Control panel.
Any thoughts? Thank you.
