what is the .odp file extension?

A .odp file is an "open document presentation". It is the open version
of a power point presentation.

An .odp file is an ISO standard--like the country code you dial when
you call your favorite Aunt.
You can open a .odp file with the free office suit called OpenOffice.
Just download it from http://www.openoffice.org/ and start
double-clicking to open the file just like you would if you were using
some other presentation software.
Also, Jlliu Liu set a good example by sending the document in an open
format so anyone can open it (even though some may not have heard of
an odp file before). *By using an open format, Jlliu Liu has catered
to convenience rather than catering to ignorance,* and has increased
the range of people who can provide him with help.

But there was a double extension in the name of the file provided
initially (.png.odp if I remember well).
Programs that check viruses in incoming emails remove all files that
carry double extensions because this is a way to "hide" the real nature
of the file. They also remove .exe files and others (like having too
many spaces in a file name).
