Opening the Presentation with a Double-Click
Purpose:  To start the presentation quickly so that you can by-pass opening the PowerPoint program.
1.
When you have entirely finished your presentation, you can quickly start it by saving it as a pps file.   To accomplish this, from the top toolbar, click File and then Save As.


2.
Click on the pull-down arrow beside Save as type.  Choose PowerPoint Show and click OK.


3.
Now when you want to show your presentation, go to where you save the program, (such under My Documents on your computer), simply double click the icon below and the first slide of your presentation will appear.  A helpful tip:  a pps file cannot be edited but you can still edit the original file.
