Question regarding Open Office?

Whenever someone sends me something that needs to be viewed by Power Point, Open Office says I need to go to the Set Association Control Panel and set an association for it. Where is that located? I have Windows Vista Home Edition. Doesn't Open Office have a Power Point equivalent?

    The easiest way to set an association is to go to Open With for that file, then choose Impress as the program to open it with and make sure the "Always use" box (at the bottom) is checked. Setting an association means that's the program Windows will always use to open that kind of file.

    Yes it does, it is called Impress (Presentation).

    Try starting up Impress then go to:

    File > Open

    And search for the MS powerpoint presentation that you need to open.

    I would recommend doing an end around this problem and download the Powerpoint Viewer from Microsoft. It is a free download.
