Right-click on a PPT file, choose "Open with", select PPT and click the box that says "Always use this app..."

Thanks for the reply.  However, I dont an "Open With" option.  Only "Open link in new tab" or "save link".  Do I need an extension on my powerpoint?

Hey there!

 

Where do you have the PPT saved? I guess its on web and not saved locally on your system?

To choose the "Open With" option, you need to have that file saved on your system.

 

Thanks,

Akanchha

Yes, it's on the web.  But I don't have an option to save it?
