PPTX

The PPTX file extension is associated with Microsoft PowerPoint, a tool you can use to create and edit dynamic and great-looking presentations. The .PPTX files are used for editable slide shows, which are very often used for presentations. The .PPTX files may include formatted text, bullet points, images, movies, sound effects, or music. They are often built from one of many templates included with the Microsoft Office PowerPoint software, but may also be created from scratch. They serve the same purpose as the .ppt PowerPoint presentation files, but are using the new XML structure, introduced in Microsoft PowerPoint 2007.
