In MS PowerPoint, which file extension is used for a presentation that opens directly in slide show mode?
Answer: A
Correct answer: .ppsx
A file saved as .ppsx - PowerPoint Show - opens straight into the slide show rather than into the editing window. It is what to send when the recipient should simply watch the presentation. It is not protected: the file can still be opened for editing from within PowerPoint, so it is a convenience rather than a security measure. The related extensions follow a consistent pattern, and the set is worth learning. .pptx is an ordinary presentation. .potx is a template, which creates a new presentation based on it rather than opening itself. .ppsx is a show. The macro-enabled forms add an m - .pptm, .potm, .ppsm - and are kept separate for security, since the plain formats cannot carry macros at all. The older binary equivalents were .ppt, .pot and .pps. Exporting to .pdf or to a video is the option where the recipient may not have PowerPoint.
