Hi, I just went into a presentation and saved it by renaming it and it
worked like a charm. Now I have my original and the .pps format which opens
immediately. Thanks for the tip. I do a lot of presentations and send them
for review. This will help me too.

Hi Lewis,
That is strange. My power point 2003 has a number of "Save as" options
including .pps.
Maybe just try renaming the file from .ppt to .pps.

Russ,
Thanks for your suggestion, however when I try to "Save as" a Power Point
Show.pps, that option is not listed.
Am I looking for the wrong thing or doing something wrong?
Power Point Show.pps is exactly what I want, but how can I get it?
Lew

Lew,
What you do is save a copy of the presentation, not as a power point
document, but as a slide show document.
Go to File -> Save as. In the dialog box, change the type to Power Point
Show (.pps). Then when you open the .pps document, and it will come up = in
slide show mode.

Subject: [PCSOFT] Power Point Question
I am using Power Point 2003 to teach a Senior Computer class and have a
slight problem.
How can I set my presentation up so that when I open Power Point to = start
the presentation, it opens with the first slide full screen and nothing =
else showing? Right now when I click on the presentation it opens in Power =
Point showing the setup screen, with everything set like I was going to
start making a presentation with all the toolbars visible. I know I can set
it = not to show the toolbars, but will have to go and set it to show
everything again, when I want to create a new presentation.
I know that this can be done, because I have seen similar presentations =
that open, showing the first slide full screen and nothing else.
Hoping someone can help me. I am using XP-SP2.
Thanks in advance.
Lew
