| File Description |
Macro-enabled presentation created by Microsoft PowerPoint, a program used to create presentations and slide shows; contains a collection of slides, including their text, layout, images, and embedded macros; commonly used to store business, marketing, and academic presentation materials.
Unlike .PPTX files, PPTM files may execute embedded macros; even if a PPTX file includes macros, PowerPoint will not allow users to run them; they must first be saved as a PPTM file, and then the macros may be executed.
PPTM files are based on the Open XML document format, which was introduced in Microsoft Office 2007; they may be opened in PowerPoint 2007 or later, or by previous versions of PowerPoint with the Open XML component installed. |
