How do make the slideshow begin as soon as the file is opened?

[Kliffee]

I want my slide show to begin as soon as the person opens the file.

For example, I want to email a PP Presentation to someone.
When they open the attachment, I want the slide show to begin automatically.

How do I do that?

You need to save the file as a PowerPoint Show (.pps) file. You can do this
in two ways:

(1) Change the extension of the file from .ppt to .pps
(2) Open the file in PowerPoint and choose Save As from the File menu. For
the type of file, be sure to choose PowerPoint Show (*.pps).
