PPS files are PowerPoint presentation slide shows that have been saved as a file that can be viewed by anyone. If you get a PPS file and can’t see the slide show, then click here for our tip on where to find the free PowerPoint viewer.
Once you get the viewer, however, some people still can’t see the slide shows without first saving the attachment to the desktop then double-clicking it from there. It works, but requires a few more steps. Today, I had a call from a customer who was in this situation and really wanted to avoid having to first save the attachment, close email, look for the file and then double-click it to view the slide show.
I sucked it up and did some research and found a little tool that works great to correct this problem and allow Outlook Express and other email users the ability to view their PPS files from within their email.
- Click here to download the PPSfix program zip file
- Close all programs
- Double-click the attachment you just saved.
- Drag the PPSfix.exe file out to your desktop
- Double-click the PPSFix file
- Follow on-screen instructions
You can delete the file you downloaded and the one you just double-clicked when you finish the above steps.
Thanks for given these idea. It’s a main problem at open time this file but you gives a great idea for open this file.. Nice..
Yup, after trying a few totally useless fixes from other sites, this one does the trick perfectly. Thanks.
