Term explanation
A .pps file is a legacy PowerPoint slideshow format that opens directly in presentation mode rather than the editing view. Double-clicking a .pps file launches the slideshow immediately, which made it popular for distributing finished presentations to audiences. The .pps format was later replaced by .ppsx as part of Office 2007's shift to an open XML-based file structure.
