Hi,

I am running Windows 2000 Pro and M/S Powerpoint 2000. I do have a number of
PPS files that I would like to set up as Screen Savers. How can I do this?

I have tried to save the files as jpg,wmf,pps and bmp. I have also downloaded AnySaver but I still cannot set up any of my PowerPoint presentations as a screen saver.

Thanks
CAS

Do your PPS files conform to the limitations explained on the Anysaver web
site?

i.e. 8 letter file names and paths etc.

The names range from 1 to 7 characters. I assume that a number one (1) is a legimate name for a directory. The path is C:\1\Ssaver

There are half a dozen links above those instructions. Have you followed them to see
if there other solutions?

And because you can easily export slides from PPT to images, any program that can turn
a collection of images into a screensaver could also work with PPT.
