How to view PPS files?

A document with the extension ".PPS" is a finalized Microsoft PowerPoint presentation. These files are typically slide shows shared between friends via email. If you do not have PowerPoint installed on your computer, you can still view the slide show by downloading Microsoft's free viewer. You cannot edit these finalized presentations.
