Help. I have made a document with pictures of my holiday in a powerpoint slide, when people open it that I have sent it to they automatically see the slides don the left hand side of the page, ie it does not open as a slide show, how am I able to do this. I sent it to myself and it did the same thing..

Save it as a PowerPoint Show (.ppsx) file instead of a PowerPoint
Presentation (.pptx). This is not fool proof as some foolish systems will
still open .ppsx files in Normal view, but most will open it properly in
slide show view.
