I do believe this is a bug.
It must be possible to open a pps in edit mode. Without renaming it.

I just did some comparison testing: LibreOffice 3.3.1 – Automatically plays .pps and closes it when it is finished playing PowerPoint (MS Office for Macs 2011) – Automatically plays .pps and closes it when it is finished playing OOo 3.3 – Opens a .pps in edit mode. Have to select play. Exits play to edit mode. Keynote (iWork '08) – Opens a .pps in edit mode. Have to select play. Exits play to edit mode. The LibreOffice developers have successfully emulated the behaviour of PowerPoint. If that emulation is desirable is another question. Larry -- _________________________________ Larry I.
