.pps or .ppt

[Lynn]

I have always used the Pack N Go option (.ppt) on finalized presentations
creating both one with and one without the viewer for users. Is it better to
use the Pack N Go or just save as a .pps file?

I usually prefer to save as PPS, but it depends on how I'm
distributing and what version of PPT my recipients have available.

With choosing the PPS format versus the Pack n Go route wouldn't the end user
have to have PowerPoint or the Viewer installed to view a PPS file?

I ran into the problem today of a MAC user not being able to unpack either
option. Should PPS be used when sending presentations to MAC users or should
MAC users also be able to unpack?
