Opening a pps file immediately enters presentation mode and pressing Esc to stop, exits LO Impress. Did you try 'Open with', then choosing 'LibreOffice 3.3' instead of 'LibreOffice Impress'? That should open it in edit mode (does for me)... It is arguable to say that this is a bug.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Open pps as ppt
Hi :) I think pps is specifically designed to avoid dropping into edit mode. People wanted to play a professional series of slides without worrying about looking dumb at the end of the show in front of an audience. To edit, just right-click on the pps and rename it so that you can change the pps to ppt. When you are ready to show it to an audience right-click and change the ppt to pps again. It doesn't change the formatting of the slides at all. It just means the show doesn't end with an embarrassing view of behind-the-scenes.

Ok, when you rightclick on a file, and choose 'open with' you should
see a window that contains also a 'browse' button
click this thing, and go to C:\Program Files (x86)\LibreOffice
3\program (which is the default location for LibO, or) to the location
where you installed LibreOffice.
Choose the program that's the correct one ('simpress.exe') or
('soffice.exe')
The checkbox in the first screen is also something to watch for if
you're not sure if the selected program will work, than UNcheck this
thing..

Thanks, Mihai Sorin Dobrescu I think you are mixing apples oranges. OOo does not open pps files automatically.

LO is based on go-oo builds, so it's quite standard for LO to open pps files in presentation mode automatically (it was a bug fix if I recall correctly).
