Starting Slide Show Upon Opening File

[RoyalCandle]

Is there anyway to automatically begin a slide show presentation when a
PowerPoint file is opened? I must send a PowerPoint presentation to a person
who may not know how to start a slide show. I wonder if it is done through a
macro? Any help would be most appreciated!! Thank you!!

Either rename the file to end .pps instead of .ppt or open the file and
choose Save As from the File menu. Under Save as type, choose PowerPoint
Show (*.pps). Note that you might have to scroll down in the Save as type
list to see the PowerPoint Show option.
