How can I make a slide show start automaticly when it's opend?
Whem I send a PowerPoint presentation to someone, he has to press F5 to
start the file instead of opening automatic.

Is this possible, using Office 2000 ?

thanx

Save your presentation as a .pps (PowerPoint Show) file. when double clicked
will open in the Slideshow mode

Two ways:
1) From PowerPoint, save the show as a PowerPoint show (extension = pps)
2) From Windows Explorer, rename the file so that it has an extension of pps
instead of ppt

There are no differences between the two file types other than the last
letter of the extension.
(By the way, if you need to edit the pps file, you still can. Open
PowerPoint, then use File --> Open and browse to the pps file.)
