In the Netsite box (where you would type in the URL) type in
"about:plugins" (without the quotes) and press enter. (I use NS 4.79
-
4.73 may be slightly different - if it does not work, try a space after
the colon). Your browser should now display all of the plug-ins that
Netscape currently knows. Thr rightmost column will identify if the
plug-in is enabled or not. If not, you must delete the plug-in and
reload it (not M$ Powerpoint). If it is enabled, then
Open Netscape and select Edit | Preferences. Another window will
open
(Preferences). Expand Navigator and open Applications. On the right
side
will be a description of applications Netscape is aware of. See
if
NCompass is in the list. If it is, scroll down further and see if
Powerpoint is displayed (Mine is shown as Powerpnt file; I have
three
entries appearing, one each for each extension POT, PPT, and PPS.)
When
you click on a description, the "File Type Details" area displays
info
as to what is handling that extension. Further on the right, you
are
allowed to edit it, remove it or add an application. If you select
edit,
you can browse your hard drive to select the application to run
when
Netscape encounters that extension.

Thank you. I tried the link, according to the screen, powerpoint is enabled. My Netscape Browser preferences does not include NCompass, however.
Where do I find it?
Thanks Anne Smith
