If you download OpenOffice.org (free from www.openoffice.org) and install it, it should be able to
read these files and update them if necessary. There are sometimes some formatting or other
differences, especially if there are audio effects across different slides. You can also get a free
viewer, which does not allow updating the presentation, from the Microsoft website.
To get OOo to open these files when you double-click them, you may have to set the "file
association" for your system, and possibly for your e-mail client. This can generally be done by
right-clicking on a file and choosing Open With, then browsing to soffice.exe, and choosing the
option to always use this program for this file type. Setting the association once for each of the
PowerPoint types should then be all it takes. (Note that the MS viewer will override this if you
install it later.)
