How to view and open pps files

Question:

Nadia asks: Hey, i just received a file with extension .pps as an attachment to an email. What program will i need to use in order to view the pps file (please bear in mind that i don’t have Office installed on my Windows XP SP2 PC)?

Answer:

Thanks for your question, Nadia. *.pps is the extension used for Microsoft Powerpoint Shows. These are actually Power point presentations that automatically launch when started. If you want to view a pps file, and you don’t have Office installed, you can download the free Powerpoint viewer from Microsoft. Once installed the viewer will automatically recognize the file as as a Powerpoint Show and you’ll be able to easily launch it.
