Work has bought me a new machine on which is installed Redhat 9.0. I'm using KDE as my window manager & I can't figure out what KDE's equivalent to a PowerPoint viewer is. Kpresenter is a PowerPoint-like app, but what do I do to be able to double-click on a PPS file and have it display?
You need to setup your MIME type so that it is associated with the application you want to use. In the: "File Associations" section of the Konqueror KCM, choose: "application/vnd.ms-powerpoint".
You should be able to install Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer with the current version of WINE. If you want a better user interface for installing Windows applications, you can purchase CrossOver Office from CodeWeavers.
If using WINE and Microsoft Power Point Viewer, you might want to write a script so that you don't need a long command line in your '*.desktop' file'.
Or, you can use OpenOffice or KOffice.
