What format do I save powerpoint in to make them interactive???
|
Can anyone suggest what format I should
save powerpoints in? My powerpoints are not interactive when I
download them! What should I save them as: just as powerpoint
presentation or the old version or 97-2003 or what comes up first, as
template, as a show, as xml. I have so many to choose from!!!!Can
anyone help please!!!

What do you mean by "interactive?"
I downloaded your Halloween PPT today, and the animations seem to work fine. (still need to figure out exacly how to play the game! I �ll have to read your instructions again!)
I just open it, put it into "slideshow" mode, and click! It works!
If you are working in Office 2007, it �s good to save in 97-2003 PowerPoint Presentation format, so that people with older versions of Office can use it too.
If you are talking about interactivity involving Macros, that might be another story that I can �t help you with :( |

When you download a ppt from eslprintables, save it as 97-2003.
Then, if you have �Office�2007, you can save it as 2007 to reduce the size. When you open a ppt, click on Slide Show or F5. To finish the Slide Show click on Escape. If you still have any questions, PM me. Have a wonderful weekend! |
