Can I attach a link to a Word document within a PowerPoint 2002 presentation?

1. Try some of the things listed below. But first make a backup copy of your presentation and use it, not your original file. Never try any of these recovery techniques on your only copy of a presentation.
Things to try:
-If you run PowerPoint 2003, choose Help, About Microsoft PowerPoint from the main menu bar. If the About screen doesn't indicate that you have SP1 (Service Pack 1) or higher, you should update your copy of PowerPoint. Choose Help, Check For Updates. When the Office Downloads page opens in your browser, click "Check for Updates" and apply the recommended hotfixes and/or service packs.
-If you run Windows XP and have installed SP1, see Files open as Read-Only after installing Windows XP SP1, Other file/path related problems
-Open a blank presentation (You can apply the template used for the damaged file, if applicable. That might help cut down on reformatting.)
-From the main menu, choose Insert, Slides from File (or if you use PowerPoint 2007, Home tab, New Slides (bottom of button), Reuse Slides.
-Try to insert slides individually if you're not able to insert the whole thing
2. If your file became corrupted when PowerPoint or your computer crashed, there may be a temporary version of the file in your TEMP directory. If so, you can try the aforementioned Insert, Slides From File and browse to that file. Or you can try changing the file's extension to PPT and see if you can open it from within PowerPoint using File, Open. You could also do a search for *.TMP files on the off chance that it's not in your TEMP directory.
3. If nothing else works, try opening the presentation in Word to see if you can at least recover the text:
-Start Word and choose File, Open
-Choose file type "Recover text from any document"
-Edit the file as needed
4. If all these three methods don't work, then use third party software PowerPoint Repair Toolbox https://www.repairtoolbox.com/powerpointrepair.html

Dear Anand,

To broadcast your presentation, do the following:

1. On the Slide Show tab, in the Start Slide Show group, click Broadcast Slide Show.

The Broadcast Slide Show dialog box opens.

1. Do one of the following:
• If you want to host your slide show on the service listed under Broadcast Service, skip to the next step.
• If you want to use some other service to host your slide show, click Change Broadcast Service. Under Choose a broadcast service, select the service that you want to use. For more information about broadcast services, see Choosing a broadcast service.

Note If you do not see the service that you want to use, select Add a new service, and then in the Add Broadcast Service dialog box, enter the network address of the service you want to use and then click Add.

1. After you select your broadcast service, click Start Broadcast. PowerPoint then creates a URL for your presentation.

PowerPoint creates a unique URL for your slide show.

1. To send the URL for your presentation to your audience, do one of the following:
• To send the URL for your presentation by email, click Send in Email.
• To copy the link, click Copy Link.
2. When your audience receives the URL for the slide show, click Start Slide Show to begin your broadcast.

The audience follows your slide show in their browser while you present within PowerPoint 2010.

1. After you finish presenting and are ready to end the broadcast, press ESC to exit Slide Show view and then click End Broadcast.

After you begin broadcasting a slide show, the Broadcast tab appears in the PowerPoint 2010 ribbon.

Hi,

If you wish to view Power Point (.pps) attachments you receive in your e-mail, you need to download and install the Microsoft Office PowerPoint Viewer 2007 which you can download by clicking this link.

Also, please be careful while opening PowerPoint documents you receive in email because a lot of viruses are transmitted these days along with .pps documents. So, only open PowerPoint attchments from contacts whom you know.

Hope this solves your problem. Thanks for using FixYa

If you have Office be sure PPT is installed (some MSOffice do NOT include PPT ) if you have PPT installed launch your powerpoint.
go to File/ open
select any powerpoint file.
If you do not find any .PPT file simply create a PPT presentation save and try to open.
You can then associate .PPT file with Powerpoint program in your Windows Explorer: (go to Tools/Folders option File types tab)

You need to install Microsoft Powerpoint to do power point presentations. Its part of Microsoft Office

However, Windows Vista does come with a movie maker installed.
Click on the start button, then all programs and you should see it listed in the programs there

If it doesnt run and gives you an error message then follow this link to get a version that will work with your computer. DO not download it if windows movie maker works

Has the powerpoint document been saved as an office 2007 document or as a prior version? in office 2007 in order to open it in 2003 it must be saved as a prior version of office. You can download a patch to read newer versions, but that is not always the most reliable process.
