File Extension PPS

File type: MS PowerPoint Presentation

About the PPS file type:

If Windows cannot find the appropriate program associated with .PPS files, then your registry may have errors. Check your Windows registry for errors (includes file association errors).

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.

Additional Information:
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.
