Hi,

Someone sent me a 'PPS' file but I cannot open it. I don't
understand what a 'PPS' file is and have no idea what to
do to make it show up - espessialy since this one is
supposed to be fantastic.....

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Mildred

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/downloads/2000/Ppview97.aspx) but not to
create or manipulate them.

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.

Mildred,

PPS is a Powerpoint Slideshow. You can get a Powerpoint viewer here for free.
