One way (in Windows, at least) to handle this would be to get the free Powerpoint viewer and associate it with (only) the .pps suffix. Then save the Impress file as .ppt and manually change the name to .pps.

I don't think that a pps is any different from a ppt file. It's in how the program handles it. I took a ppt and renamed it to pps and it shows in the same way that a file saved as pps does. OOo just needs the option to automatically run a slide show when loading. tc Jeff Causey wrote: > In PowerPoint, in addition to the traditional .ppt format, you could > select a couple other options for saving presentations.
