Powerpoint Show keeps opening in "Edit mode"

    Hi all,
    Hopefully someone can help.

    When I save a PPT to a powerpoint show in Kiosk mode, and I share the link directly to the show file, others are getting it to open in edit/slideshow mode.

    Does anyone know how I can get the powerpoint (when shared) to only open in Kiosk/full screen mode, and not slide show mode? I have to link to a sharepoint site, so very frustrated at the moment!

    Thanks

    did you save in PPSX format? (PowerPoint show mode)

    Sorry, never replied. I did indeed. I tried 97-2003 version as well. It seems it is a SharePoint issue rather than a PowerPoint issue. If I sent the file it's fine, but linking it via SharePoint causes the online editor to kick in. Seems to be a common issue
