Do you mean open them so they can be edited?

If so simply open PowerPoint (not from the pps)

Click the big round Office button top left
Choose OPEN
Find the PPS and OK

Save as a PowerPoint presentation .ppt or .pptx

You can also

Right Click the pps and select NEW (This will open a copy not the original)

It is possible to simply rename the pps file to something .ppt but if you are a beginner I wouldn't go there.

Boy am embarrassed. I use MS Word and, of course, you just need to press the big icon in the upper left corner.

Thanks, Uncle Dewey
