A PowerPoint Show presentation (PPSX or PPS file) is a type of presentation that starts immediately in slideshow mode when opened, rather than in the PowerPoint editing mode. This saves you and your audience time and ensures a seamless presentation experience.
Creating a PowerPoint Show Presentation
Creating a PowerPoint Show presentation is quite straightforward. You first need to create your slides as you would for any other PowerPoint presentation (PPTX or PPT file). Once you’re satisfied with your content, follow these steps:
- Go to ‘File’ in the top menu.
- Select ‘Save As’.
- Choose the location where you want to save your file.
- In the ‘Save as type’ dropdown menu, select ‘PowerPoint Show (*.ppsx)’ or ‘PowerPoint 97-2003 Show (*.pps)’ if you’re using an older version of PowerPoint.
- Click ‘Save’.
Now, whenever you open this file, it will automatically start in slideshow mode.
Advantages of a PowerPoint Show Presentation
The main advantage of a PowerPoint Show over a regular PowerPoint presentation is its convenience. Instead of opening to the editing mode and requiring you to manually start the slideshow, a PowerPoint Show immediately displays your slides as a presentation. This can be particularly useful when sharing your presentation with others, as they won’t need to navigate through the PowerPoint interface to view your slides.
