Setting PPT 2003

jonereb · #1 08-14-2009, 04:53 AM

I have PowerPoint 2003 and 2007 loaded on my computer. How can I set 2003 as my preferred application...in other words...I need 2003 to open when I double click on a PPT presentation. Is this possible? (Yeah, I know...I'll lose some of the 2007 benefits).

You can change the file association. In Windows Explorer, select 'Tools -> Options -> File Types', locate PPT files, change the program that's assigned for open or other operations.

Matrix, I'm not at the computer in question right now...but using the method you described, do I change one PowerPoint show at a time or does this method change which version opens EVERY PowerPoint show?

You only need to do this once, and all PPT files will be affected in the future.
