IM SORRY IF THIS IS IN THE WRONG FORUMS!!!

Has anyone at all been able to open the Bungie Publications?
Whenever I downloaded it it says that it can not open it

I have Powerpoint 2002, and i tried to use Powerpoint 2003 ( 2003 told me that i didnt have a text compiler or something like that)

If anyone has gotten them to work could you tell me what version of Powerpoint you used and what other extras you have if any

I'm certifiable.

I believe they're created in PP 2007, which is what I used to view them. Never fear, though, as there's a free viewer available from Microsoft if you don't have a copy.

If you're using IE than it automatically gets rid of part of the extension. Make sure the file name ends in .pptx not .ppt

If it ends in .ppt then just rename it to .pptx and it should work.

They are "pptx" files - IE has a bug that is cutting off the last letter on download. If you get a ppt file that doesn't work, rename it to be pptx.

I know I enjoyed them =D The one by The Gooch, the one art one, and the Lightmap ones were orgasm for meh.

Also, IE7 has a little bug that renames ".pttx" files to just ".ppt", so you'll have to rename some files once downloaded.

Just change the name of the file, simple.

if you don't see file extensions (the default setting in some versions of windows) you can right click and then go to properties, and in that window change the extension or you can go to the advanced settings in windows explorer and set it to show extensions (varies by OS version).
