PowerPoint ppsx to pptx

[food4all]

I accidentaly saved my 07 PowerPoint presentation as a ppsx file instead of a
pptx file. I need to change it to a pptx or spend hours recreating it! I
tried renaming the file using pptx, but the program would not let me open it
after the change. Any ideas or am I dead in the water?

Hi

Yep, the old renaming technique doesn't work with 2007 files. But all is not
lost! Simply open PowerPoint then open your ppsx from the office button ->
open option, then save it as a pptx.

I tried the Windows button/File - Open method and it still opened up as a slideshow. I had to find the PowerPoint executable and drag the ppsx file on top of the executable. The file then opened as a pptx and I was able to edit and save it.
