Have you ever wanted to create a file that directly runs in slide show mode? Today, we will learn how this can be done. Plus there’s one simple hack for saving tons of trouble if creating non-editable files!
When you save your presentation in PowerPoint format, it will be saved with a .ppt extension and if that’s what we’re using now then all of this is still true. To have presentations open automatically as slide shows just set up some tags for them so they know which mode to come out at – either pre-set ones like “slide” or custom ones created especially by ourselves based on how much time each specific type takes (this process might take some practice).
You might be thinking, “What the heck is this PPSX file?” You’re not alone. This isn’t a common presentation save format like PDF or PowerPoint templates which are more typically used to create files of that type.”
What is a PPSX file format?
PowerPoint Show files or PPSX are a type of PowerPoint presentation that can automatically open and display slides. These formats do not allow for editing as the content will always show up in an uneditable form when opened directly from your computer with this particular file type installed on it, but there might be some workarounds available if you know where to look!
The difference between a PPS and an XDSF file is that the newer format, can be opened by all versions of Microsoft Office including 2007 or later releases; however, if you’re using older software like PowerPoint 2000 then it will only open in read-only mode. To get around this problem we recommend saving your presentation as either .pps/.ppt files (which means they’ll work no matter what version) OR having both types saved so there’s always one available for each type!
How to Save a presentation in PPSX format?
The first and most straightforward way is by using Microsoft PowerPoint’s built-in “Save As” function. All you need to do to make this happen successfully, though?
Step 1 – Open the PPT
Open the PowerPoint presentation that you want to save in the PPSX file format.
Step 2 – Go to the File option
Click on the “ File” option for your PowerPoint. On the dropdown menu, select “Save As..”
Step 3 – Click on the “File Format” option
Check out all of the file formats available to save your presentation in this window.
Step 4 – Choose the PPSX or PPS file format
Choose a format in which you would like to save your presentation.
Output: Click “PowerPoint Show” and select either PPSX or PS file type from the dropdown menu.”
Step 5 – Save the file
Step 6 – Verify
Make sure you have saved it in PowerPoint Show format.
What advantages of a PowerPoint Show (PPSX) file format?
- Help your clients stand out from the crowd – Today, more than ever before in history there is a huge amount of competition for any type of business opportunity. This means that you need to do everything possible when it comes time to display how awesome YOU are! Not only will this impress potential customers but also put you above all others so they’ll want what YOU have instead… which leads me back around full circle: sending them something unique like an animated PowerPoint Show file can help distinguish them as someone worth dealing with!
- The great thing about this PowerPoint Show file is that it keeps all your animations and transitions just as you created them!
- hiding the contents of a presentation from those who don’t need access can be frustrating. But what if you could share it as an unprotected PowerPoint show? This would solve your problem and allow others to view/edit content just like they do on their computers!
COOL HACK to truly create a non-editable PowerPoint file
Here’s a cool little ninja trick that you can follow if you want to make your presentation non-editable. There are multiple ways of doing this, but the easiest and quickest would be by converting it into an MP4 video format!
For those of you who are wondering if it’s possible to convert a PowerPoint Show file into an MP4 video, the answer is yes! To do this all we need is to open up our presentation in edit mode and then save them as such.
To save the file in a different format, simply open it up and choose which type of video you want to export.
To save your work in PowerPoint for future reference, navigate to “ File” and then click on “Save As.” Choose the desired file type of MP4 and give it any name that you would like. Once saved successfully this way – every time someone shares their presentation with us (or links) they will automatically be converting them over too!
Conclusion
While PPSX files have a great WOW factor and can be very helpful if we want to start our presentations directly in slide show mode. However, contrary to what most people may believe PowerPoint Show (.ppt) documents are not fully editable but they allow you some flexibility with content conversion by converting them into an MP4 video file type which offers more options than just still pictures or text on slides.
