What is an SXI file?

The SXI format is the native presentation file type for OpenOffice.org Impress, the predecessor to the modern OpenDocument Presentation (ODP) standard. Based on the StarOffice XML format, SXI files utilize ZIP compression to bundle XML definition files (content.xml, styles.xml) and binary media assets. It was the default format for the OpenOffice suite (versions 1.0 through 2.0) prior to the standardization of the OASIS OpenDocument Format (ODF) in 2005.

How to open an SXI file

Apache OpenOffice Impress and LibreOffice Impress provide the most robust native support for opening and converting legacy SXI files. Microsoft PowerPoint can open SXI files if the appropriate ODF converters are installed, though formatting discrepancies often occur. Google Slides supports importing SXI files for viewing and conversion to modern web-friendly formats.

What is a PPSM file?

The PPSM (PowerPoint Macro-Enabled Slide Show) file format is a presentation file type developed by Microsoft, based on the Office Open XML (OOXML) standard defined in ISO/IEC 29500. Unlike standard PPTM files, PPSM files are configured to open directly in slide show mode rather than edit mode. The structure utilizes a ZIP-compressed XML framework containing a vbaProject.bin binary part to store Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macros, along with separate folders for slides, media assets, and relationship (.rels) files.

How to open a PPSM file

PPSM files are natively supported by Microsoft PowerPoint (2007 and later) on Windows and macOS, which executes the contained macros upon opening if security settings permit. For users without the full Microsoft Office suite, files can be viewed using the free PowerPoint Viewer or LibreOffice Impress. On mobile devices, the Microsoft PowerPoint app provides compatibility, though macro execution is generally restricted on iOS and Android platforms.
