DearWebby is actually Helmut Morscher, the CEO of Webby, inc.
Originally the "Tech Support Pits" were reports of the funniest tech support incidents, but over the years the
column gradually shifted to answering tech support questions put forward by the readers of the Dear
Webby Humor Letter.
This collection of computer and web advice was started partly because readers demanded an archive, and partly
because some questions were asked again and again. Each page has a different day's Tech Support Pits column.
Have FUN!

Tech Support Pits:
From Joyce===
Dear Webby,
I see today that Steve asked about saving a specific power
point document. A friend sent me an e-mail yesterday with
an attachment I couldn't open. I had it do the search and it
came back:
FILE TYPE: powerpoint document file
FILE EXTENSION: pps
DESCRIPTION: this document is a powerpoint presentation.
(software or information available at: microsoft powerpoint).
I bought this machine only a month ago with windows xp
installed. I assumed everything I would need would already
be installed. Since I don't seem to have this powerpoint thing,
is there any other way to open this type of attachment?
Thanks for your help. Joyce
Dear Joyce
The main reason, that the PowerPoint viewer is not included,
is because PowerPoint has gone out of style many years ago.
However, because there are still a few fogies around, who
think they are too old to learn HTML, and who use it to make
simple slide shows, Microsoft still has the viewer for
PowerPoint available for downloading.
It is located way back in their dusty archives at:
Power Point Viewer
