Lots of people think that there is a difference between the .ppt and .pps file format. And you would be surprised how many folks think you can't edit the .pps because when they click on it, it starts to run.
Anyhow, all you have to do to make a .pps file is to save as a .ppt and then use a file manager to change the name to .pps. Admittedly less convenient than saving under that name but just as functional (or non-functional). -----Paul----- --- Robert Payne <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > First, thanks for the reply, Keith. > > When I go to save my preso I have a number of options with the file > types, > namely .sxi,sti,ppt etc but I cannot see anywhere on the "save as" > menu an > equivalent of pps. > > So, the question remains, assuming multiple users have access to my > file, > how can I "lock it up" so that they may view it but not alter it. > > Thanks again for your help, > > Rob > > >G'day Robert, > > > > > >Yes > > > >But my experience is that you can alter the file in PPoint - in fact > >I have found .pps easier to transfer to PPoint than are .PPT > > > >On Tue, 23 Aug 2005 13:07:48 +0930 Robert Payne > ><[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > > >>Hi Folks, > >> > >>I am a newbie to Open Office and just starting to use Impress. > >> > >>So far, so good but I am a bit puzzled with the file formats with > >>Impress. > >> > >>Is it possible to save an Impress file with the equivalent of MS > >>Office "pps" format so the presentation comes straight up without > >>the edit windows and nobody can then alter the presentation > >>without access to the original file? > >> > >>Many Thanks, > >> > >>Regards > >> > >>Rob Payne > >> > >>----------------------------------------------------------------- > >>---- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >>For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >> > >> > >> > > > > > > > > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
