How to easily convert .ppsx file to .pptx or .ppt?
Well, a .ppsx file is a Power Point Show file created in Microsoft Office 2007 or later. Today at office I received one such file and double clicking it launches the Powerpoint Viewer and Not on PowerPoint. This maybe needed if you want to edit a few slides or copy some information from the slides.I searched online for quite sometime with no luck. For the earlier .pps files, they can be easily converted to .ppt file by merely renaming the file extension to .ppt from .pps. But this technique doesnot work with the new versions - so a mere renaming of a .ppsx file to .pptx throws up an error when you try to open the file.
Then an idea struck me and it worked beautifully.- Open Microsoft PowerPoint.
- Click on the Ribbon and Open.
- Now select and open the .ppsx file.

Do note that this not all the mobile web traffic we are talking about but only specific to SmartPhones.

On the other hand, iPhone has entered several markets WorlWide and has consolidated a very nice marketshare in the very competitive SmartPhone market. The iPhone has been available atleast in the US for almost 2.5 years now - but taking 50% of the Worldwide traffic of smartphones is very impressive.

Winner of the HP PhotoSmart Printer Giveaway
Well, folks - it wasn't that easy to choose a winner. There were 340 correct / qualifying entries to the contest. That was a bit too less than what I expected it to be, anyways - looks like the word didn't spread around much. So, how do you pick 1 winner from 340? There were many folks who had consistently answered on all 7 days - many correct, some wrong.
I just got an idea this morning to be completely neutral and use a Random Number Generator. And this was the lucky number which won it.

So, at position 112 we have.....
Congrats Anuradha on winning the contest - we've already dispatched a mail to you. The details on when the printer will reach you will be shared separately in a few moments.
Oh boy! that was pretty exciting. Thanks to the HP IPG team (especially Seema) and also folks from Burson-Marsteller (especially Soumya) for making this happen. Thanks again folks!!
Special thanks to all the participants and also for all those of you who helped spread the word about the contest.
Please await for a complete review from me on the HP PhotoSmart Premium 309G in a few days.
