Steve,
My understanding is that there is altogether one file. PPS is the "slide
show" mode i.e. ONE view of the file. There is no "compilation" between
.ppt and .pps. PPT is not the source code and PPS is not the object code;
therefore no need to rename the extension. It's not like Cobol, RPG IV
.......
Please correct me if I am wrong.
A simple question can sometimes start an interesting dialogue. Yes, I learn
something everyday. This is my favourite forum, not intimidating at all but
very friendly. This encourages learning especially when the MVP's are
seasoned professionals. Each MVP appears to have a specialty WITHIN
PowerPoint. I am learning from the best of the best. I appreciate all of
you and I thank you for your efforts in helping me.

Correction:
If there is compilation, renaming won't reverse the file.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but here's the simplest explanation:
PPT and PPS files are *exactly* the same thing. The only difference is the
file extension. Windows uses file extensions to decide what to do with files
when you doubleclick them and the PPT installer tells windows "If it's a PPS,
launch it in PowerPoint but go directly into slideshow view and quit PPT when
the show ends."

Even though some of us take a bit too much thyme getting to the point? ;-)

The more the thyme, the more of a sign of passion and dedication. I have to
support this because I am detailed myself and I know that sometimes my posts
may be a bit too long. ;)
If you don't mind I have one more question. I am curious what programming
language PPT uses.
I always like your good sense of humor. Has anyone got you a Scion yet?

I've heard it's written in C++ but don't really know.

No luck so far. If you have a spare one cluttering up the garage, I can help
