Can I use Powerpoint to make screen saver?

[xinyin]

I am a Powerpoint beginner. I want to know if Powerpoint can be used to create screen savers? Or is there any shareware that can change a Powerpoint file into a screen saver?

Screen savers must be a single executable (.EXE). While it's possible to create a powerpower show and view it via something like:

ppview97 mysaver.pps

Windows will not support the parameter.

There may be shareware/freeware out there that does what you want - have a search on google.

native screensavers themselves are .scr, not .exe. although an .exe can certainly act like screensaver.
