How can I get an 'PPS' file to open?

Mildred,
A pps is a PowerPoint Slideshow file. If you don't have Microsoft PowerPoint installed you can download a free viewer from Microsoft that allow users to view PowerPoint pps files (http://office.microsoft.com/download.../Ppview97.aspx) but not to create or manipulate them. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP Mildred wrote: Hi, Someone sent me a 'PPS' file but I cannot open it.

That's a Power Point Slideshow and if you don't have Power Point
installed you can download a viewer from Microsoft that will allow you to watch it but not do anything else. Sorry but I don't have the link at the moment but I'm sure someone will come along and provide it. Joan Mildred wrote: Hi, Someone sent me a 'PPS' file but I cannot open it.
