PPS file extension
MS PowerPoint Slide Show
 |
Related .PPS software |
.pps files are created and opened using Microsoft's PowerPoint application. PowerPoint is a presentation program and is mostly used for displaying digital slides during business/educational presentations and is also widely used for displaying picture slideshows received by email.
PowerPoint belongs to the Microsoft Office suite and is available for both the Windows and MAC OS operating systems. PowerPoint is now arguably the standard way of displaying slides, making the slide projector virtually redundant.
The .pps file can contain a combination of text, pictures and even movies. These files are all held within the actual .pps file, so you only have one file to distribute or receive. The .pps file also holds information on how the presentation is displayed, such as the transition effects between slides.
PowerPoint also saves presentations in .ppt (presentation), .pot (template) or .pptx (PowerPoint 2007).
There is no real difference between a .PPS and a .PPT file. You can even rename the extension and they'll still work. The difference lies in how PowerPoint treats the files, a .PPT file will instruct PowerPoint to open the file in 'edit mode' whereas a .PPS file indicates that the slideshow should be opened in 'Play mode'.
To create/open a .pps file, you will need PowerPoint (part of Microsoft Office suite) or PowerPoint Viewer 2007, which is available free from Microsoft's website (link below).

I imported a powerpoint 97-2003 slide show .PPS file.
All works fine when opening the site with a computer that uses Office 97-2003. However,
when I open the website on another computer that has Powerpoint 2007, the Powerpoint opens as a.ppt in edit mode. Is this a bug in Powerpoint 2007? Is there a way around this?

This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Set Association Control Panel.
I went into the control panel >default programs >set associations, but there is no .pps extension anywhere in there.
I do have Microsoft PowerPoint installed, and I am using Windows Vista.
Is there any other way that you know of to help me create an association?
Your help would immensely appreciated.
Yours truly,
Gus Vlahos
