PPT: Can't Open PowerPoint Files with Windows 95 Quick View (138645)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows 95
- the operating system: Microsoft Windows 95
This article was previously published under Q138645 SYMPTOMS
If you right-click a PowerPoint 97 presentation and then click Quick View
on the menu that appears, you receive the following error message:
There is no viewer capable of viewing Microsoft PowerPoint
Presentation files.
CAUSE
The Quick View program that ships with Windows 95 works only with PowerPoint
4.0 presentations. You cannot use the Quick View program with PowerPoint
for Windows 95 presentations.
MORE INFORMATION
Windows 95 offers a feature called Quick View, which allows you to view
files created in popular Windows-based programs without starting the
program.
PowerPoint does support a context menu option to run a slide show,
however. When you context click a PowerPoint presentation in Windows
95, you can choose Open, New, Print, Show, or Quick View.
The Show option launches your presentation directly to a slide Show.
You can press ESC at any time, and when you do so, the file is
closed. This option takes longer than Quick View because it actually
opens the file.
