How to Convert PPSX to PPTX in PowerPoint 2010 Easily

Have you got this kind of experience that you downloaded a wonderful PowerPoint slideshow from online, but you see it is in PPSX format? When you open the file, it is directly in PowerPoint Show mode, and you cannot edit it.

How can we easily convert PPSX to PPTX right in PowerPoint 2010?

In fact it is very easy! People get used to open a file by double click it, but they have forgotten there are other ways to open the PPSX file.

Run your PowerPoint 2010 first, this should be a blank slide. Click File > Open and browse PPSX file you want to open.

    A life saver. Notes from my presentation disappeared for a reason unknown, but desktop search found them in the PPSX file I exported earlier.
