I realise this most likely isn't a mojPortal issue, but wondered if anyone had worked out how to successfully link to a Powerpoint slideshow .PPS or PPSX in Internet Explorer and have it display as a slideshow, as opposed to opening Powerpoint in edit mode.

After Googling, one fix was to edit the MIME settings for .pps as follows: application/vnd.ms-pps, which I have done. I have restarted IIS but when I click on my link to the .pps file, IE pops up with the options to Open, Save or Save As. When I click open, it opens Powerpoint in edit mode.

I have tested my link in Chrome and it opens as a slideshow. I have also tested uploading a .pps to the demo site and that also opens Powerpoint, instead of a slideshow with IE.

Is there something I can change in the Web Config or is this an MS issue? Does anyone have any other ideas?

Hi Joe

I did try the MIME as per that website link, but couldn't get it to work as advertised, I might have another look at it.

This is our intranet site so everyone has access to Powerpoint. Not a big fan of Powerpoint, so might try some other options.

Thanks for your ideas.

Sandy :)
