How to open .ppz file for editing (PowerPoint 97)

Please make sure that you have MS PowerPoint Animation Player for ActiveX installed before you proceed.

A .ppz file is a PowerPoint Presentation to be publish on the web. If the .ppz file is saved to your local drive, you can also double-click it from Windows Explorer. While the animation is running, use windows explorer to open your C:\Windows\Temp folder. You should see a file with a .ppt extension. The file name will begin with a tilde (~). This is a PowerPoint presentation file. Copy this file to a different folder and give it a more descriptive name. And now you can open this file in PowerPoint and work on the file.
