| 11668 | 2001-04-22 03:21:00 | Hello, Over the last 6 months I have been sent several emails from friends with attached files that have a .pps extension. When I try to open the file I get an error message (no associated application). I thought that perhaps the files were something to do with Powerpoint so I installed a Powerpoint Viewer but it appears the viewer can only open .ppt files. Can anyone please tell me which program will open a .pps file? Thanks. |

| 11670 | 2001-04-22 04:20:00 | ...and here's a handy hint for those users who have and enjoy viewing a large number of image files and want something better than the default Viewer packaged with Windows - but without the bulk of Photoshop. A Freeware utility called 'IrfanView' made by Irfan Skiljan, Woellersdorf, Austria. It can be downloaded from his home page at: stud1.tuwien.ac.at Although small in size (758kb) it is quite sophisticated and able to view over 30 image file extensions, plus all the usual video and sound files. NOTE: one must first install the *.pps programme before Irfan can open that particular file extension. Enjoy!!! |

| 11671 | 2001-04-22 04:52:00 | Thanks for your help. I will go to the MS website and download the PP Slide Show program. I think I already have IrFan View on CD somewhere (but not installed). Cheers Sharrea |
