a simple save problem
Using Power point 2003.
I have created a series of text slides but don't know how to save them in a way that allows them to be played as a slideshow. After "save as", and "save in", what is the correct "save as type". Or is there something else that should make this more easy? I don't remember having this problem with pps 2000. Dave Isaacs.

Dave,
Should be pps, just as in 2000. Will it not run that way? -- Regards, Glen Millar Microsoft PPT MVP www.powerpointworkbench.com Australia "David Isaacs" wrote in message ... Using Power point 2003.

Thanks Glen and Steve,
The file properties show as "Microsoft Power Point Presentation" not .pps. Is there a difference? I have saved them to a folder on the desktop. What should I do to get them working as a pps presentation please. I am having a serious seniors moment lasting much longer than a moment. :-} Regards, Dave.

I have got myself in a real mess.
Having renamed the files with .PPS extension (is upper case OK) and have them in a folder within My Computer I still cant get the files to open as a sideshow. Can someone give me a step by step tutorial. When I make a slide, how should I save it and to where, and then how do I play the sideshow please. Should they be saved within Power Point? Dave.

There is no message, the individual files open in Power Point, but not as a
slideshow. They are saved in a folder named election.pps within my documents Thanks, Dave. "Sonia" wrote in message ...

Try this:
1. Go to My Computer 2. Go to Tools Folder Options File Types 3. Locate PPS in the list and highlight it 4. Click on the Advanced button 5. In the list of Actions, do you see "Show"? Is it highlighted? 6. If it isn't highlighted, click on the button labeled "Set Default", click on OK, click on Close 7. Now locate your PPS file and double click on it Let us know what happens. If there is a problem, let us know at which step you have a problem. "David Isaacs" wrote in message ... There is no message, the individual files open in Power Point, but not as a slideshow.

They all open individually in Power Point, but not as a slideshow. There is
no message. I have them in a folder named election.pps in My Documents. Should I have them saved somewhere else? Thanks Sonia. "Sonia" wrote in message ...
