File extension PPS (.PPS) information


Windows cannot open PPS files?


If Windows is unable to open PPS files you may not have the appropriate program installed or may have a registry related error.

Format and name:

MS PowerPoint Presentation
Appropriate program for file extension PPS:
The most common usage of .PPT is as the file extension of a PowerPoint Presentation. Although the .PPT file extension is associated with PowerPoint and can be opened and edited using PowerPoint (or just viewed using PowerPoint Viewer), in practice .PPT files can also be opened and edited using OpenOffice and StarOffice, as well as, quite possibly, other programs. If you are having problems opening these PowerPoint files it might be that your version of PowerPoint is older than the version used to create the initial file. Scan your system to prevent and identify association errors.


Additional comments:
PaintShop Pro Alternatively the .PPS file extension can be associated with image files generated by the Corel Paint Shop Pro graphics editor (originally called Paint Shop Pro, but renamed when Corel bought the rights in 2004). Alternative Software The .PPS file extension is also associated with ArcView: Processing Set Codes and Personal Producer Storyboard. In practice both these packages are very obscure, and unless you have good reason to believe they might be appropriate in this instance (ie the person who sent you the emails works in either cartography or screenwriting) they are very much more likely to be PowerPoint (or possibly PaintShop Pro) files. Software that can open MS PowerPoint files: MS PowerPoint MS PowerPoint Viewer Open Office Star Office Software that can open Corel Paint Shop Pro files: Corel Paint Shop Pro Paint Shop
