What is a .PPS file?
A .PPS file is a type of file used to store a slide show presentation. It stands for "PowerPoint Slide Show" and is associated with Microsoft PowerPoint, which is a well-known software used for creating presentations. This software is part of the Microsoft Office suite. The .PPS file format is a legacy format, meaning it was used in earlier versions of PowerPoint but can still be opened by modern versions.
The main characteristic of a .PPS file is that it is designed to start the presentation automatically as a slide show when you double-click on it. This is different from .PPT files, which open in the PowerPoint editor by default, allowing you to make changes before starting the slide show.
You can open .PPS files with various programs across different platforms: 1. **Windows:** - Microsoft PowerPoint 365 - OpenOffice Impress - Kingsoft Presentation - Corel Presentations 2021 - SoftMaker Office - Ability Office - File Viewer Plus (available from Microsoft Store) 2. **Mac OS:** - Microsoft PowerPoint 365 - Apple Keynote (included with the operating system) - Apple Preview (included with the operating system) 3. **Web-based options:** - Google Slides (accessible via Google Drive) 4. **Mobile Devices:** - Microsoft PowerPoint (available on iOS and Android) - MobiSystems OfficeSuite Pro (available on iOS and Android) - Google Slides (available on iOS and Android) - File Viewer for Android (available on Android) 5. **Chrome OS:** - Google Slides These programs allow you to view the content of .PPS files directly as a slide show, and some also provide options to edit the slides if needed.
