MAKE PRESENTATION RUN SMOOTHLY
One of the biggest stumbling blocks preventing you from giving a smooth flowing, professional looking presentation is not being able to find the PowerPoint presentation. Well, there is a quick and easy fix and it's called creating a PowerPoint Show or PPS file.

Solution: Well there's a really easy solution to this problem and you don't have to purchase anything because it's already built into PowerPoint. What you want to do is create a PowerPoint Show (PPS) file on your desktop or a folder on your desktop. Basically a PPS file is like a PowerPoint file that automatically runs when you double click on it. In addition, you can copy it to your desktop (the background place where your computer wallpaper resides) and have it there ready for easy access. The PPS file also makes it easy to share your PowerPoint files. For example you can create PowerPoint presentation to describe the features of a new product. If you would email the raw PowerPoint file, most people, who are not PowerPoint literate, would not know how to run your presentation. However, if you first save your presentation as a PPS file then all they have to do is double click on the PPS icon and it will start your presentation. As a general rule, I try to keep my computer desktop fairly clean to avoid confusion. You might consider placing the old PPS files into an archive folder or simply deleting them from the desktop. Keep in mind that you should still have the original PowerPoint file saved in the place where you store your PowerPoint files. Procedure: To create a PPS file takes two simple steps. 1. Save your PowerPoint presentation. Click on the icon at the top of the PowerPoint screen that looks like a little "floppy disk". Now your original presentation is saved. 2. Create your PowerPoint Show (PPS) File. Click on the file menu and then click on "Save As". A window will pop up asking where you want to save. a) you want to change the location to "Desktop" b) at the bottom of the pop-up window there is an option labeled "Save as Type". You must change the type of file to "PowerPoint Show (*.pps)". Now go to your desktop (computer wall paper background) and locate the newly created PPS file. Double click on the icon of your PPS file to see if it performs properly. See graphic below.
