Powerpoint - Auto Open a Slideshow?

Question

I have created a slide show in Powerpoint. I have saved it, but when I open it, it opens in the 'design' format.

I want it to save so that I can send on an email, protected, and when people open it, to be able to just see the slideshow.

I don't want people to open it in the design format - but to have a slide show automatically.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

When you normally save in PowerPoint it saves as a ppt format. As you want to open it as a show, click on save but click on the downward arrow to the side of the file type box and select pps - show.

Answer 2

To prevent your PowerPoint from  being modified when sending it to others, you can try to convert your PowerPoint to video or burn it to DVD.

Benifits of doing this:

1. As a powerful presentation tool, PowerPoint is not easy for wide sharing. By contrast, DVD is more accessible.

2. After converting PowerPoint to DVD, you no longer need to worry about it being modified by others.

3. A MS Office installed computer is not necessary for playback any more, only a DVD player would be enough.

4. By converting ppt to video can reduce PowerPoint file size by 90% to easily email or upload to web

maybe you can save it as P.D.F file, or you may save your file save As "PowerPoint Show".
