Oledata.mso, image001.emz – What do I do to actually open this

emailmicrosoft-officemicrosoft-powerpoint

I received an email from someone I know (and expected) containing 2 attachments. I was expecting a PowerPoint file, but instead received a "image001.emz" and "oledata.mso" file instead. The oledata.mso file seems to be the big file (6 MB) as apposed to the image001.emz file (2 KB).

I can not for the life of me figure out how to open the MSO file. I have tried the following:

  • Microsoft PowerPoint 2007
  • Microsoft Outlook 2007
  • Microsoft PowerPoint 2010
  • Microsoft Outlook 2010
  • Microsoft Visio 2007
  • Microsoft Visio 2010
  • OpenOffice (Latest Version)
  • 7-Zip (I thought maybe it was a special zipped up file)
  • I uploaded it to Google Docs
  • I attempted to open it through my Blackberry (OS6) device

Nothing seems to work. What can I do to open this attachment??

take a look at this site: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fileextensions/f/emzfile.htm

An EMZ file is just a compressed version of an EMF file, a kind of graphics format. You can open the file by inserting it in any Microsoft Office program as an image or you can extract the EMF file from the EMZ file and then open the EMF file in an image editing program.
