The difference among "save as" choices

C

Charlie Bress

I am using PowerPoint 97.
In the choices available in the "save as" drop down menu I find:

Presentation

PowerPoint Show

PowerPoint 95 & 97 Presentation

There is a problem sending presentations to others who may not have
PowerPoint or PowerPoint Viewer installed.
Which of the above choices (if any) will work for all recipients?
Which only work for those with at least Viewer installed?

Also what extensions are associated with each of the above.

Presentation = .ppt
PowerPoint Show = .pps
PowerPoint 95 & 97 Presentation = .ppt (don't use this one unless the
recipient has PowerPoint 95)

The only difference between the .ppt and the .pps is the way they open in
power (makes no difference in the viewer). the .ppt opens in the edit mode
and the .pps opens in the Slideshow mode
