PowerPoint question

[marcmccain]

When one receives a powerpoint attachment to an email and they click on it -- some of the presentations open directly into the slide show. Others open in the PowerPoint program (with toolbars) and you have to manually "start" the slide show.<br /><br />I've built a slide show and have hit a brick wall. I want the show to open directly into the presentation when the receiver clicks on the email attachment. Does anyone know how to setup the slide presentation so the receiver/user will open directly into the slide show and see slides 1-12(and not the PowerPoint program with all the toolbars). Thanking all in advance for telling me how it's done. <br /><br />And a Happy New Year.

Try, File, save as, change type from power point presentation (.ppt) to power point show (.pps) in the type drop down box

Re: PowerPoint question

And the reverse is true when you receive a PowerPoint Show and want to save it as a .ppt. Download the .pps into a folder you'll remember, then open the folder & rename it with a .ppt.
