Had problems with kmail. ;-) Actually, this isn't a problem with kpresenter but a problem with file type recognition in KDE as a whole. While "file" reports a pps document as Microsoft Office Document (not very specific but correct), KDE recognises it as a Microsoft Word Document which is wrong. (Open konqueror as a file manager, hover the mouse pointer over a pps file and see what I mean.) Thus KDE tries to open the file with Kword which fails. If you force Kpresenter to open a pps file it still tries to find a Word filter for it. That fails as well, of course. It isn't exactly an Koffice issue but wrong file type recognition in KDE as a whole. Uwe -- http://www.uwix.iway.na >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
