A .pptm extension file is a macro enabled open XML, Microsoft PowerPoint Presentation file. The presentation pages that are termed as slides comprise of text, images, videos, graphs and other components including media files that are required in a presentation. This feature is especially helpful to create presentations for the academic, marketing and business domains where a large amount of content needs to be stored. The advantage of using the .pptm extension as compared to .pptx is that macros can be executed in files with this extension whereas it is not possible to execute macros in .pptx files even if it has macros in it, apart from that both formats have similar features. Microsoft introduced the Open XML format for PowerPoint presentations in 2007 hence files with this extension cannot be opened with previous PowerPoint versions. However, if a Microsoft Compatibility Pack is installed along with the previous versions, it would be possible to open the files with .pptm extension.
A .pps extension file is a PowerPoint Show designed with the help of Microsoft PowerPoint application. This file consists of text, audio-visual components, animations, images and hyperlinks that are combined as required to present a slide show to a group of audience. It is particularly useful to present slide shows for the educational sector and for corporate presentations but can also be used for personal presentations. Interactive and dynamic multimedia slide shows are created with the PPS format. The .pps file extension is similar to .ppt extension files except that the presentation directly opens in the slide show mode instead of the edit mode. Files saved with the .pps extension cannot be edited as they are converted to the slide show format. They are smaller in size than the PPT presentations and can be sent across from one user or device much faster than the presentations with .ppt extensions.
