It is the presentation itself in Slide Show Mode.  Older versions of  
  
PowerPoint had what is called the AutoContent Wizard that walked you through  
  
various questions to assist you in creating your presentation.  Some folks  
  
created them for handouts/printouts, some for on-screen shows.  All it  
  
really did was select a better design for the application needed.  
  
As far as most of us are concerned every time we create a PowerPoint  
  
presentation it is an "on-screen show" because we are going to present the  
  
information using some sort of projector to an audience.  
  
Hope that helps!

An on-screen show is a presentation that is primarily aimed at being shown  
  
on a screen or some sort (from a 14" monitor to a massive 50ft wide  
  
projected screen).  
  
The other alternative is a presentation that it's main aim would be  
  
'printed'.  
  
It's a lot to do with page sizes (proportions) more than anything. As the  
  
same presentation can be both shown on-screen and printed.
