"I've had a report that there is a problem with Microsoft Office XP (also known as Office 2002) whereby Powerpoint presentations won't open within Blackboard (in Internet Explorer).

The problem doesn't seem to affect earlier or later versions of MS Office.(e.g. Office 2003, 2000)

Microsoft Service Pack 3 for Office XP fixes the problem (and I believe Service Pack 2 will also fix it but I haven't tested this). The service packs are readily available from http://www.microsoft.com"

Thanks to Bob Woods for this information.
