Currently, I have a link to a powerpoint file and when you click the link it opens the file in edit mode.

I have tried saving the powerpoint as a .pptv, .ppsx and a .pptx; none of these display in presentation mode. Additionally, I’ve added the different MIME types in IIS.

Powerpoint is installed on all computers trying to view this file, it is not installed on the server (could that be the issue).

Is there a way to programatically achieve this or is there another work around?

This is currently working in firefox but not IE8.
