How to make Powerpoint slide show start automatically

[Kymmiko]

Is there any way to make a Powerpoint slide show start automatically when you doubleclick the file? Or if it is a link on a webpage?

Hi kymmiko,

Just save the PowerPoint presentation as a .PPS file (PowerPoint slide show). Double-clicking this file starts the slide show right away.

Cheers!

Hmm I think I tried that and it didn't work. I shall double check again.

Thanks for the response!

Hi again,

What happened when "it didn't work"? i.e., I'm wondering whether your double-clicking the PPS file started PowerPoint, or gave some other error message, or did absolutely nothing at all, and so on.

But do try again - it SHOULD work!
