Mac Forum / Applications / PowerPoint / January 2006What is difference between pps and ppt
Using Imac G5 10.4.3 and Office x I received an email with "pps" attachment and it worked just fine, forwarded to my wife using Powerbook G4 and Office 2004 and worked fine. Forwarded to a friends BRAND NEW IMac G5 OSX 10.4.3 and Office x. File would not open. and a message came up requesting they buy ILife or IWork, dont remember for sure which. I had them change the Tag from PPS to PPT and the file then opened. Is this a preference issue ??? With a PPS file, have the user select it and go to File > Get Info. Under "Open With", select "Microsoft PowerPoint" from the menu. If it's not in the list, click "Other", and manually select PowerPoint. Then click "Change All" in the Get Info window.
