I have a shtml web page that has link to the PowerPoint slide. when the hyperlink is clicked on it shows different options to different users. In some cases the file download box shows the Document Type as "Microsoft Office PowerPoint Presentation, 78.1 KB" while to some users the Document type is shown as "Compressed (zipped) Folder, 78.1 KB." Both these messages are shown on the same hyperlink where the document type is PowerPoint. NOt sure why some users are seeing the Compressed file type in the download dialog box.

Both dialogs show it concerns a .pptx file, wich apperently is the new format for Microsoft Office (2007) documents. It is a combination of XML architecture and ZIP compression for size reduction.

I believe you don't have to worry about the different dialogs because of the above. See also http://rrelyea.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns...!2134.entry
