1. Open the PowerPoint presentation. If you want to save a specific slide, select it in normal view.
2. On the File menu, click Save As.
Select an empty folder or create a new empty folder in which to save your presentation or slide.
Note
If you use the My Pictures folder under My Documents, make sure it is empty.
3. In the Save as type box, click Device Independent Bitmap, and then click Save. You can keep the
original presentation fife name or create a new name.
4. Click Every Slide or Current Slide Only, and then click OK. (In PowerPoint 2000, click Yes to
export every slide.)
Your presentation or slide is saved to the folder that you selected. After you close your PowerPoint
presentation, you will use Windows XP to open the presentation or slide as a screen saver.
Note Animations that you may have added to the original presentation will not play when you create
the screen saver.

You must be running Windows XP to perform this procedure.
1.
Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click Display, or click Appearance and Themes, and
then click Display.
2. On the Screen Saver tab, click My Pictures Slideshow, and in the Wait box, set the amount of
time you want to elapse before the screen saver is displayed.
3. Under Screen saver, click Settings.
4. Under How often should pictures change?, set the slider at the interval you want between
pictures, or, if you are making a single slide a screen saver, move the slider to Less (three
minutes) to avoid a distracting flicker on the screen during the transitions.
5. Under Use pictures in this folder, browse to the folder in which you saved the presentation or
slide.
6. If you saved a single slide, clear the Use transition effects between pictures and Allow scrolling
through pictures with the keyboard check boxes.

not include the transitions that you set when you created the presentation.
