I would like to know whether it is possible to view Powerpoint slideshows on a Mac that is not equipped with Powerpoint. Can Viewer be used for that? (I do not have access to my Mac right now, so I can't test this)
Got a tip for us?

How to view .pps files on a Mac?

Note that the only difference between a PPS and PPT is the filename, so if you just rename them to PPT first you can use whatever you use for PPTs. OpenOffice? Keynote?
FWIW I find that many of the PPSes that get forwarded to me don't work well even with PPT:Mac installed.

I am thinking of buying my mom a Mac.
She is receiving a lot of slideshows from her friends and before I make her switch from Windows to the Mac, I want to ensure that she will be able to continue to view these pps files.
She has no use for Office:Mac, so I am looking for a free alternative.
