What is a .ppsm file?
A .ppsm file is a Microsoft PowerPoint Macro-Enabled Show (version 2007). This is a code, script or executable format.
How to open a .ppsm file
- VS Code opens and highlights nearly every text-based code format.
- Never run a script you didn't write or trust.
The registry records this extension against Microsoft PowerPoint Macro-Enabled Show, so software from that family is the most likely match.
How to convert a .ppsm file
- Text-based code needs no conversion — just save with a different extension if a tool insists.
