Powerpoint Presentation

[regga]

I'm making a presentation for my wife , the trouble is that I send It to my
email address & press on the link & the presentation comes up in the
powerpoint page. How do I get It to just play on a full page.

Hi,

Save as a PowerPoint Show. In 2003, File, Save As, in the Save as Type box
choose PowerPoint Show (*.pps).

Hi,

Can you rename the file from whatever.ppt to whatever.pps?

The pps should tell it to run as a show.

Hi,

Well, at least we know what the problem is *not*!

Maybe one of two things:

1. Does the other computer have PowerPoint or the free viewer?
2. If so, is the file association broken so the computer doesn't know how to
run the pps file?

I presume it works OK on our computer before you send it by email?

When you tried to save as a pps are you sure you scrolled right down in the
save as box. *.pps should be there.

and no It doesn't play on mine unless I play it from Power Point from Slide
show ,View Show
