.pps is PowerPoint Slideshow and you need Microsoft Powerpoint to view that file.
thanks for your help have you any idea how i get microsoft powerpoint ?
You have to buy Your request has been blocked. This could be due to several reasons. for that…
There is one Openoffice Org software as well, which is free and those who are using it saying that it is very good. I am not completly sure if it supports .pps extension or not but its worth a try before paying hundreds of dollars for MS Office…
Buy it. Or get a trial version from Microsoft.
Yes…download the trail version and do ur stuff. Remove it when u r done But that will give u a mesage saying that you have a trail version and buy full version or so…
Get Openoffice and if it works then you will not have to go through the hassle of trail version.
or you can use the free MS Powerpoint Viewer
