If you would like it only to bee seen as a slide show, you can use "Pack and Go". Make a copy of the original, then "Pack and Go" the file. It makes an uneditable copy of the file that only works as a slide show, viewer included. Thats what sales people dowhen they send a slide show in the mail.

U can simply rename it to *.jpg and open it with any pic viewer or open it with Photoshop with "Open as".\n\nOriginal file can only be viewed within PhotoStudio 2000 or other compatible ArcSoft programs. AS far as i know tho ;)\n\nOfc there are many same types, but ppl get along with this as picture format mostly. .psf is also sound,text file type etc...

~~ i see i am a little late in answering this, but one way is to change the file so that it is no longer a read only file.  to do this, right click on the icon for the presentation, choose properties, on the general tab check archive, and uncheck read only... the other thing you can do is to re-save your project under another name by going to file, save as.... and re-name your project....and under file type save it as a presentation.  when you are done with your project then save it under the file type of power point show. ~~

you need to have Microsoft Powerpoint installed, or at least the free PowerPoint viewer\n\nget it here\n\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=428d5727-43ab-4f24-90b7-a94784af71a4&displaylang=en

There is a free PowerPoint viewer available from Microsoft.\n\nIf you want to create a presentation you might try the open source program Open Office, it is free and it creates presentations that can be saved as .ppt\n\nLinks below

No way, I've looked....um not that I'd do anything illegal though..*cough** However, Open Office has a presentation program in their new suite that is compatible with Power Point, you can save your projects as Power Point files. It is a bit more difficult to use, has a few less features, but its the only free, Power Point compatible program I'm aware of. Just go to www.openoffice.org, download it. Its pretty big, but well worth the time.

Really, it is much easier to embed AVI or MPG formats into Powerpoint. Inserting MPG or AVI is very easy.\n\nInsert > Movies and Sounds. \n\nIf it's just a 3 second loop, another idea would be to convert it to an animated gif that would be much easier to work with. \n\nQuicktime .MOV are usually linked outside the presentation -- sounds like you don't want to do this, but generally embedding .mov is not possible.

PowerPoint files that launch automatically are saved as a PowerPoint show with the extension .pps.\n\nOpen PowerPoint\nclick on the file menu , then choose open\nBrowse and find the file (on your desktop etc)\nThen click on file and then OK\n\nYou should be able to edit and make changes

PowerPoint doesn't actually put the WMV file in the PowerPoint file; it makes a reference to the file, the same way an image isn't "in" a Web page, the Web page just references the image file.\n\nThat is, if you add a WMV file to your slide show, the file doesn't get put "in" the slide; the slide just records where the WMV file is on your computer.\n\nWhen you take the slide show someplace else, the file can't be found, so it doesn't play.\n\nThat's why the earlier suggestion, to save your file as a PowerPoint Show, won't work; the WMV file still won't be included in the PowerPoint file itself.\n\nInstead, from the File menu, choose Package For CD ... and then click Copy To CD.\n\nAll your files will be burned to a CD -- including the WMV file and all other referenced files, and it will properly play on someone else's computer, even if they don't have PowerPoint installed.

Open the powerpoint. Select the slide you are problem with.  Go to the taskpane.  Open the Slide transition.  Go to the ADVANCE SLIDE.  Select the AUTOMATIC AFTER check box & using the up & down arrows select a suitable time.\n\nI hope this would solve your prob.

1. your powerpoint presentation should be an outline of your report. don't read what is projected.\n2. insert a graphic per slide.  it will be better if the graphics are animated. if the need arises, you insert videos or sound/effects.  just don't overdo it.\n3. personally, i use a dark background w/ amber colored letters.  it is easier for the eyes.

try opening windows explorer and draging the picture file into the power point window and onto the slide.
