Hi Steve:
Maybe I doing something wrong, but I never could get the PP Design tab,
Page Setup to work. It changed it for Presentation 1 only as if I was making
a PP slide. When I go to the .pps file and click on it I always get the same
view, as the changed settings do not apply for viewing it.
How can I change the settings to apply to a .pps file in a Documents
folder?

Check your computer's manual; often these settings are available via special
