How to read files with the suffix .ppt?

[KatyMac]

I'm guessing it's powerpoint - but I don't have that

Can they be 'read' by anything else?

Open Office? It's free to download and can read (and save) most major formats.

google documents might read it? try getting a google mail account, email it to there, and then open it in google. Sometimes the formatting is wonky though.

If you just want to view it, not edit, you can download the Powerpoint viewer here

Thanks I went with downloading the viewer - which worked fine

Thanks
