About formats

PPSM (PowerPoint Slideshow with Macros) is a macro-enabled slideshow format in Microsoft PowerPoint, introduced with Office 2007 as part of the Office Open XML family. PPSM combines the auto-play slideshow behavior of PPSX with the VBA macro capabilities of PPTM — opening a PPSM file launches it directly into full-screen presentation mode while allowing embedded macro code to execute during the slideshow. The format is structurally a ZIP archive containing the same XML slide parts as other OOXML presentation formats, plus a vbaProject.bin stream housing the VBA project. This combination is particularly valuable for interactive presentations: macro-driven slideshows can respond to user input, navigate non-linearly between sections, query external databases, update content in real time, and log audience responses during training or assessment sessions. One advantage is interactive presentation capability — PPSM enables quiz-style presentations where clicking answer buttons triggers immediate scoring feedback, branching paths, or data recording, all invisible to the audience. The macro-enabled slideshow format also supports self-contained automation: a PPSM file can run initialization routines on launch, configure the display environment, and clean up resources on exit without any manual intervention. As with all macro-enabled Office Open XML formats, the distinct .ppsm extension helps administrators enforce security policies that differentiate between trusted macro content and standard presentations. PPSM is supported exclusively in Microsoft PowerPoint desktop editions.

DOC is the binary document format of Microsoft Word), the word processor first released in October 1983 for MS-DOS and later becoming the dominant document creation tool worldwide. The format stores documents as OLE2 compound document files — a binary container with multiple internal streams holding text content, formatting information, embedded objects, macros, and metadata. The text stream uses a complex system of formatting runs, section descriptors, paragraph and character property tables, and style definitions to represent arbitrarily complex document layouts including columns, headers, footnotes, tables, floating images, tracked changes, and mail merge fields. The format evolved substantially through Word versions, with Word 97 establishing the binary structure that remained standard through Word 2003 and created the .doc files most commonly encountered today. One advantage is near-universal compatibility — DOC files can be opened by virtually every word processor and document viewer across all platforms, from Microsoft Office to LibreOffice, Google Docs, and Apple Pages. The format's rich feature support is another strength: DOC handles complex layouts, embedded OLE objects, VBA macros, and revision tracking that power enterprise document workflows. Although Microsoft introduced the XML-based DOCX format with Office 2007, DOC remains heavily present in existing document archives and continues to be produced by organizations maintaining compatibility with older Word installations.
