How to make an e-mailed powerpoint slideshow start automatically VU2YJ 12/30/2008 3:08:07 PM I would like an e-mailed PowerPoint file to open automatically in full screen presentation mode when its name is clicked upon. I tried to save a .ppt file in .pps format by renaming it. It was not allowed by some entry in the registry. Can any one tell me which entry of the registry is to be edited, and in what manner to enable a .ppt file to be saved in the .pps format/

PPT 2003 and earlier allowed you to simply rename the file. In PPT 2007, you have to open the file in PowerPoint and choose Save As from the Office button and then change the Save As type to PowerPoint Show. You might try this regardless of what version you are using before you start mucking with the registry. --David -- David Marcovitz Microsoft PowerPoint MVP Author of _Powerful PowerPoint for Educators_ http://www.PowerfulPowerPoint.com/In article <7D8FA956-A48E-4C6C-AD96-2DFC82E9ED06[ at ]microsoft.com>, VU2YJ <VU2YJ[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: [Quoted Text] > I would like an e-mailed PowerPoint file to open automatically in full screen > presentation mode when its name is clicked upon.
