how to add publisher to my "open with" list

[Maggi]

Hi All
I have tried various ways even open zip but I cannot add the Publisher
program to the list. I have not had to use the list before today and did not
realise they had taken away so of the normal programs the list.
I am currently using Publisher to design a simple web page so I know it is
working.

Now I have a pps file that I want to save into my picture folder. i saved it
to the desktop as I had previously done in Office 2003 but it was not in the
list when I right clicked on the folder. I have tried opening the pps file
with Media and Gallery to no avail.
I am not a technical person so please use basic examples on how to get
single pps slides to pictures

choose from the list click the checkbox to always use this program fo
this type of file

Are you saying you're trying to open a pps file with Publisher?...you can't.

A pps file is a PowerPoint slideshow and you can't open that with Publisher.
Specifically what are you trying to do with that file?
