How to Create an Executable Powerpoint File
Executable files are read-only and include an EXE file extension. When you share an executable PowerPoint file, users do not have to own a copy of PowerPoint to view your presentation. The file plays automatically when you load it on your computer or open the file, and your PowerPoint presentation and data are preserved. You can create an executable PowerPoint file quickly by using an EXE converter. Alternatively, if you don't have access to a PowerPoint to executable file converter, you can convert your PowerPoint into a format that the converter can change.
