The file I right click on opens, but no slideshow.
Dave. "Sonia" wrote in message ... They are not case sensitive. Right click on one of your .PPS files and select "Show" from the menu. What happens? "David Isaacs" wrote in message news Sonia I have renamed the files by deleting the .ppt, still no luck. Are file extensions case sensitive? How should I have the individual slide files saved. I have them in a folder in My Documents. Should opening one of them get the slide show going? Dave. "Sonia" wrote in message ... You say "no success", but that may not be the case. Now locate your presentation file. Does it have two extensions, like presentation.pps.ppt? Rename it and delete the .ppt. Then click on it to open it. "David Isaacs" wrote in message ... I have done that "View and uncheck "Hide extensions for known file" but no success. This is getting bigger than Ben Hur, and as a non techo type my head is in a whirl. Can I be missing something simple with the basics. Can you recommend a basic tutorial for PP 2003. I will do as Steve suggests and follow the suggestions in http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/FAQ00034.htm Dave. "Sonia" wrote in message ... Then see Steve's reply. I think he's nailed it. Open Windows Explorer and go to Tools Folder Options View and uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types". "David Isaacs" wrote in message ... Yes to "Show" "Sonia" wrote in message ... I have a feeling that we might not be talking about the same thing here, or we don't understand your expectation. Try right clicking on your PPS file. Do you see "Show" in the popup menu? "David Isaacs" wrote in message ... I have done this Steve, the reconfiguration took place but only individual files open, no show. Sonia I searched for POWERPNT.EXE it found C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11, but no reconfiguration. Many thanks you guys, I appreciate your endeavours. What next, Dave. "Steve Rindsberg" abuse @localhost.com wrote in message ... Try this: Quit PowerPoint if it's running Click Start then click Run In the Open box, type this (better yet, copy/paste this into the box): powerpnt.exe /regserver Click OK. You'll see a message box telling you to wait while Office reconfigures ..yadayadayada. It shouldn't take more than 30 seconds or so. Once it finishes, try doubleclicking one of your PPS files. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ |

David,
my English is not too good... but I somehow interpret that you have some files in a folder, named as pps, and these pps contain (that is the important part) only one slide each one... you have some of these... and you want that *all of them* show one after the other as a Show...

Thanks, Enric. I didn't imagine that this was the problem. You must speak
Dave's language very well. G Dave, the normal use of PowerPoint is to create a presentation that has mutiple slides. It sounds like you are creating a bunch of single slide presentations. The way you should do it is that once you have created the first slide, use Insert New Slide to add a second, third and fourth until you have all of your slides for the full presentation. That should be saved as a PowerPoint Show (*.PPS) and when it is opened you'll see all of your slides. If you have reason to create them as single slide presentations then to play them altogether you would need to create a play list and open it in the PowerPoint Viewer. Let me know if that is the case. Maybe the tutorial at http://www.actden.com/pp/ will help. I know there are others, but this one is pretty non-technical. "Enric" wrote in message ...

David,
Let me take a crack at this... What you rally want is to put all those slides in a single PPT file, set up a transition for each slide (or even better a single common transition used for all the slides), then save that file as a PPS. Then, each slide will run one after the other and play as a show. To bring all the files together as one show: 1) Open a new PPT file 2) Use Insert-- Slides from File to insert each existing slide. Click the "Keep existing formatting" box to keep the original backgrounds, etc. That said, I think all of us are missing something, so how about we step back and I ask you: What are you trying to accomplish? I don't think that you put each slide in its own file just because. Is there some reason that you put them in individual files instead of all together in one file? -- Kathryn Jacobs, Microsoft MVP PowerPoint and OneNote Author of Kathy Jacobs on PowerPoint - Available now from Holy Macro!

Enric you must understand Australian English!
Yes I saved single slide files to a folder and it was wrong. I will look at the tutorial and have another go at it as I am still unsure where the presentation should be saved once I have used "insert new slide" To answer your question re. "If you have reason to create them as single slide presentations then to play them altogether you would need to create a play list and open it in the PowerPoint Viewer."

A presentation can be saved wherever it is convenient for you. If you want to create a folder in My Documents called \Presentations, that's fine, but not required. You just need to remember where you save the file and what you name it. You can ignore what I said about a play list. I don't want you to get more confused. Stick with creating a single presentation file that contains all of the slides that you want included. "David Isaacs" wrote in message ... Enric you must understand Australian English!
