= Summary =

Once you have saved a PowerPoint presentation as a Scrapbook (Pictures), it cannot be opened in PowerPoint. If you would like to look at the saved Scrapbook file, and do not have a program that reads Scrapbook Files, you can look at the file by using the Scrapbook Desk Accessory (DA) that is part of the Macintosh System Software.

= RESOLUTION =


 * 1) Save the presentation as a Scrapbook, and name it “My Scrapbook.”
 * 2) Drag the file “Scrapbook File” out of the System Folder.
 * 3) Drag “My Scrapbook” into the System Folder.
 * 4) Rename “My Scrapbook” to “Scrapbook File” (without the quotation marks).
 * 5) Open PowerPoint.
 * 6) From the Apple menu, choose Scrapbook.

After following these steps, the file in the System Folder with the name “Scrapbook File” is opened automatically.
