If you have a PowerPoint Show (.ppsx or .pps) file and want to convert it back into a PowerPoint Presentation (.pptx or .ppt) file, follow these simple steps:
- Open the PowerPoint Show file. It will start playing automatically.
- Click on the ‘File’ tab on the top left corner of the screen.
- From the dropdown menu, select ‘Save As’.
- Choose the location where you want to save the file.
- In the ‘Save as type:’ dropdown, choose ‘PowerPoint Presentation (*.pptx)’ or ‘PowerPoint 97-2003 Presentation (*.ppt)’ depending on your version of PowerPoint.
- Click ‘Save’.
Now, your PowerPoint Show file has been converted into a PowerPoint Presentation file. You can edit it just like any other PowerPoint file.
Remember that converting a PowerPoint Show file into a PowerPoint Presentation will not change the content or design of your slides. The only difference is that PowerPoint Presentations can be edited, while PowerPoint Shows start playing immediately when opened.
