How do I save just the presentation & not PP software to send in .

[mpatt05]

I am trying to save just the slide show part that I created without it taking
me to the powerpoint software it was created with. I want to send my
slideshow to a friend by email. I don't want it to go with the powerpoint
software. It needs to be where they can use their own software to view it.
Can someone give me the step by step on saving it like this and also how to
save it to my desktop so I can open it when I want to.

Just use File > Save As and save it as a .PPS file.

What Sonia says, keeping in mind that whoever you send it to must also have
PowerPoint or the free PowerPoint viewer installed on their system.

To save your presentation to your desktop, just do a Save As, and in the where
window select your desktop. Don't forget to give it an appropriate name.

Thanks for your answer but I need a step by step on how to do this
proceedure. I'm still fairly new at this and have never done anything like
this before. I've tried saving it in the save as but when I do and open it,
it opens back up in the powerpoint page. I'm not wanting it to do that. I'm
wanting to save it in a way that it will open straight to the slide show and
bypass opening up in the PP page. I also want to save it to my desktop so
when I click on it the slide show will begin automatically without me having
to start it in the PP page. I hope this makes sense. I know what I'm
wanting just describing what I want is what's hard.

 

[mpatt05]

Thanks for your response. I tried this and when I go to the icon on my
desktop for my slide show it still opens on the PP page. I want it to open
automatically to the slide show from my desktop bypassing the PP page.
That's what I need the step by step on. I know it can be done because I have
viewed some that others have made. I just can't figure out once they made
them how they saved it in order for it to open up directly at the
presentation. Sonia wrote me on saving it in a PPS file but she didn't
explain to me how to do that. This is where I'm having trouble since all of
this is still fairly new to me. I've not ever done anything like that before
so I don't really know what she means.

Couple of ways. When you save your presentation, save it as a slideshow, that
will give it a .pps extension, or from Explorer, change the extension from .ppt
to .pps

Open PowerPoint and open your presentation. Go to File > Save As and select
PowerPoint Show (*.PPS) as the file type. Browse to your Desktop as the
location where you want it saved. Give it a name and click Save.

Now the presentation will open directly into slide show mode when it is clicked.
Remember though that it will only do this on a system that has PowerPoint or the
PowerPoint Viewer installed, so if you are planning to email it the recipient
needs to have one of them installed on their system.

Try convert PPT files to MPEG or burn them directly to DVD If you want
your friends see the slideshow part without taking the whole profect to
PowerPoint software, A burnt DVD is easy to carry and played on both PC
or DVD player.
Download the product: PowerPoint2DVD from
http://download.powerpoint-to-dvd.com/powerpoint2dvd_trial.exe, you may
find it worths you efforts to give it a shot.

Thanks Steve for your help this was very useful for my presentation and also
for future ones I want to make for my church. All of you have been so
helpful. Thanks again.

If you're in PowerPoint with your presentation open:

Click File on the menu bar
Click Save As
The Save As dialog box opens

In the area on the left, click "Desktop"
That sets PowerPoint to save to your desktop.

At the bottom of the dialog box, you'll see "Save as type".
One of the options in the box next to that will be "PowerPoint Show (*.pps)
Choose that.

Then next to "File name:" type a name for your file.

Click Save.

that's all there is to it
