PPT 2003, save as powerpoint show

[Chip]

I'm running Office 2003, small business edition,
powerpoint 2003. I want to save a presentation as a
powerpoint show (pps), but the "save as" option doesn't
give me a choice to save as a pps.
How do I save a presentation as a powerpoint show?

Hm, that's odd. Do you have any options when you do a Save As?

Have you activated Office yet? Many things become disabled when Office goes
into reduced functionality mode (after 50 starts); then you must activate.

You have to scroll down a bit in the Save As Type listbox to find the Show
(*.PPS) listing, but in any case, it simply saves a copy of your
presentation with a .PPS extension instead of .PPT

In other words, all you need to do is make a copy of the file using Windows
Explorer or gasp! DOS and rename it with a PPS extension.
