Changing .pps to .ppt (power point slide show to power point template) is not so difficult. But it is necessary in some instances and at that time we don't know the procedure of changing .pps to .ppt.

In the windows you can be changing .pps to .ppt and vice versa following these steps:

1. Change the settings to view all file extension types. (In Windows Explorer, Tools > Folder Options > View tab and unchecck the “Hide extensions for known file types” )

2. Just rename the files with .ppt extension. instead of pps extension. ABC.pps -to ABC.ppt

3. Now you can make changes and edits to the show. You can also do the reverse too, make a ppt into a pps just by changing the extension.

In ubuntu the extension should be visible and editable already.
