Actually my boss just pointed out it is even simpler. If you open PowerPoint and do a file open the PPS file is simply editable. This suggests that the difference is purely so that double clicking a PPS file forces it to open in PowerPoint viewer rather than PowerPoint.
That being the case I have to ask if you have included “PPS” in your SharePoint search scope for indexing?

Old trick here but a PPS and PPT file is essentially the same. PPS tells your PowerPoint app that the file is runtime only and not editable. But if you simply change the filename suffix to PPT then the file becomes editable! There is no difference that I am aware of in the compilation.

It probably won’t given that shows (PPS) are compiled differently so as not to be editable. Pretty sure this is by design. Pretty sure... ☺ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bill Williamson Sent: Monday, 13 October 2008 2:18 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [OzMOSS] PPS files not being indexed PPS files are not being indexed by MOSS, but PPT files are.
