Thanks for your reply Jim.
About month or two ago I developed a problem viewing some attachments and
PowerPOint files. Prior to that time I had no problem viewing PowerPoint
presentations and where I saved those files the PowerPoint icon appeared
correctly. Recently I received a file I couldn't open , it's then I used
Michael Santovec reply to correct the issue, that's when the icon doesn't
appear. Following his suggestion in correcting the association the correct
icon is displayed.
