Debbie, The process includes changing the file extension but you can not just rename the file. I am assuming that when you say "presentation" that you mean a file with the extension .PPS and when you say "slideshow" you mean a file with the extension .PPT. If that is the case then just open your powerpoint program, then open the Presentation .PPS, it will open as if it was a .PPT then you can add what you like and save it again as a .PPS. Hope this helps Abed Best Regards, Abed --- On Thu, 6/18/09, Debbie Reese <deborah.reese@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: From: Debbie Reese <deborah.reese@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [mso] Re: Power Point - Convert Slide Show to Presentation?
