helpme please

when ever i open a power point pres. it always opens in
edit mode. How can i get them to open in slide show mode?
 
Rename the file extension form *.ppt to *.pps. This tells PowerPoint to
launch in playback mode.

Several ways:

Within PowerPoint, Click on Slide Show, View Show -or- hit
F5 or click on the click on the lower left Slide Show
button (if present).

If you want a presentation just to run automatically
everytime its opened, rename it to a PPS file instead of a
PPT file.

Change the file extension to ".PPS". Or you can open the .PPT file, click
"File", "Save as", then change the File type to "PowerPoint Show".

the same file to another computer and it open ups in slide
show mode but not on mine
