PPSX at a glance
PPSX
Convert to PPSX when the deck should behave like a presentation on open, such as self-running briefings, classroom slide packs, customer demos, or event displays.
It is appropriate when the content remains PowerPoint-native but the primary user action is playback rather than editing.
If users are expected to revise the deck, PPTX is usually the better target.
Xfig at a glance
Xfig
Technical diagrams and figures in Unix academic workflows, legacy Xfig drawing migration, and scientific publication figure production on Unix.
