IIRC, the 11.5.0 update enabled menus access to opening OXML files if the

| Version: 2004
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
When I get .pptx files in emails I cannot open them. I can see them in quick view. When I try to open them it sends me to a microsoft web site that wants me to download 2004 - which I have. |
