What is a .PPV file?
A .PPV file is a type of file used to store slide show presentations specifically created by Microsoft Pocket PowerPoint. This version of PowerPoint is designed for use on Microsoft Pocket PC devices, which are small, portable handheld computers that run the Windows CE operating system. The content of a PPV file typically includes a series of slides that can contain formatted text, bullet points, images, transitions between slides, and sound effects to enhance the presentation.
While PPV files are similar to the more common .PPT files used by the standard Microsoft PowerPoint on desktop computers, they are not as feature-rich. This means that some of the advanced functionalities available in .PPT files may not be supported in .PPV files due to the limitations of the mobile platform and the software.
To open a .PPV file, you need a device that runs Windows CE, as these files are specifically designed for Microsoft Pocket PowerPoint on such devices. Currently, there are no mainstream programs on other platforms like Windows, macOS, or Linux that support opening .PPV files directly. Therefore, to view or edit a PPV file, you must use a compatible Windows CE device with Microsoft Pocket PowerPoint installed.
