most likely you dont have a pocket powerpoint installed

you can get 3th party software to view them

I do have power point mobile installed..........
I can open power point mobile etc but when transfering presentations onto my phone they wont open with it...
can you open them from inside powerpoint ?
if so then they may just need to be associated with the program
and if you transfer them without using activesync it could be because activesync need to change the formats from desktop office to pda office
Right this is weird... i am transfering them from my laptop via IR. When i try and open the file in "Flie Explorer" i get an error message... when i click on powerpoint and open it through that it works! But the file is still showing as not being a powerpoint file (even though it is).
Hi
If you read the small print of the manual (something i only thought of as a last resort) it explains that the powerpoint viewer - Clearvue PPT - on the XDA is just that - a VIEWER - it will only show presentations saved as powerpoint slide shows.
In essense, you can't construct or edit a presentation with Clearvue PPT, only view shows saved in the Slide Show format (which of course you can select when saving from powerpoint, but it's a bit crap as you can't then edit it or see your notes).
Hope that helps

i would try to save the powerpoint presentation to and older version format you can often do that with office programs if you choose save AS
or export to
RE: PPT 2003
Hi,
I found this link to a program called 'Pocket Slides'. You edit them as well with this program. I'm not sure if it opens 2003, but it might be worth a try with the 31 day trial. See there FAQ for more help.

does anybody knows of any way to have text notes on a smartphone? just like in the poket pcs?
thanks
Text notes...
Hi... you can use Microsofts' OneNote Mobile (.cab available somewhere in this forum, but you'll have to do a search for that) or Smartphone Notes available from www.smartphone.net for just a few dollars. OneNote is perfect if you use OneNote on your desktop as I do, but if you haven't got that, or would rather sync with the notes in Outlook, use Smartphone Notes.
There may well be others, but these are two I've used myself and both are good for what you need.
if you are using office onenote on your pc u also can install onenote mobile from the pc app:
select the 7th tab (file, edit... "instruments"(i don't know the exact english name in italian is Strumenti ^^) then select OPTIONS
in the new windows select "onenote mobile" category then click "install" with your device connected with activesync
i downloaded few documents from my uni website, it has a couple pages and a diagram at end, when i try opening on the phone i get an error:
An error occurred. The document could not be opened.
i then edited the document on my PC by removing the diagram and also making some changes in the document, but it still gave me the same error.
the document is Microsoft Office Word 97 - 2003 Document.
Any help ?
have you tried any other ms word files?
yes, i just tried one line on the PC, sent to mobile and was able to open it, is there any program out there that allows large documents with diagrams to be opened to Htc touch pro.
I'm running WinVista x64, which uses the Windows Mobile Device Center to manage syncing instead of ActiveSync. From reading on this forum, I understand that Office Mobile included on the AT&T Fuze is Office 2007, right? I'm using Office 2003 on my PC and I can't get the Word, Excel, or OneNote files to actually synchronize. I don't mean putting them on the device; I'd like to update one file on the Fuze and have the corresponding file on the PC updated next time I sync. Does Windows Mobile 6.1 and WMDevice Center really not support this functionality?! I can't figure out how to make this work. When I click on the "Files" and "manage settings" (or something like that) I get an unhandled exception error. Do I need to reinstall WMDevice Center on my PC? I also tried Documents to Go (3rd party software). I like their Word and Excel applications better than Office Mobile, but the Adobe Reader LE is better than PDF to Go. However, DocsToGo doesn't even support syncing documents on the Windows Mobile platform (or at least not with Vista and WMDevice Center).
Please help! I'm really floundering around here with this thing. There's so much to like about this phone (and so much that I do like about this phone) that I find it impossible to believe that I can't sync changes in a Word or Excel file with my phone and PC; something I've done on the PalmOS for years now!
I have a HTC Touch HD running Windows Mobile 6.1.
Also using Blackberry Connect to provide wireless synchronisation to email, contacts and appointments via my corporate BES.
Have the SoftMaker Office 2008 for Pocket PC to allow me to work on word, Excel and Powerpoint files on my mobile device.
The SoftMaker Office 2008 programs (Testmaker, Planmaker and Presentations) are all associated with the appropriate file file types.
For example if I click an an excel file the file is opened for editing by Planmaker, not pocket excel.
The Problem.
I receive office type documents as attachments in my windows mobile device email. However when I open the attachements from within the eMail the default pocket word/office applications are used to show me the attachment instead of the Softmaker applications.
I work in EH&S and the majority of attachents I receive are Incident Notification Forms consisting of large mutil tabed excel sheet. Because they are large and they take a long time and considerable space to fully download.
I am happy to be able to see the initial part of the attachment (with option to download more) but I would like to see this in Planmaker as pocket excel screws the formating so badly I cannot read the summary information (displayed on the initial tab on the spreadsheet) which I need to read to determine if I should download the entire file to my mobile device for immediate action or wait until I am back in the office.
Is there a way to associate an alternative application (eg Planmaker and Textmaker) other than Pocket Word/Excel to handle attachements in the windows mobile e-Mail Client?
I have asked this of the Softmaker Office Support team but they were unable to provide a solution.
Hope I have explained my issue appropraitly, any help greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Ed
No ideas from anyone?
