open slides as a full screen show

[Guest]

When I save my slides (save or save as) they wont save so that when i double
click on them they don't open as a full screen show. I've tried the settings
in slide show menu, (kiosk and open in full screen option) and as a ttimed
show, but it always opens up ready for editing in out-line view rather than
running as a full screen.

Save your file as a PowerPoint Presentation .PPS when you double click on
the file it will open in the Slideshow mode.

I tried to save it .pps but it will only save as .pps.ppt and when i double
click on the saved file it still opens in out-line view. Thought i'd mention
I'm usinf office pro 2003.

You also have Windows set to its d'ohhh default of hiding file extensions from
you. This will continue to gnaw on your nethers at unfortunate moments.
