.PPP document

[dinkie]

The atttachment to an email is a .PPP document, and my computer is not allowing me to open it.  I am on wondows 7, a fairly new computer with lots of bells a whistles.  Do I need another programme to be able to open this file.  Thank you in advance, Edna

You need to figure out what software this file.ppp was created under. Once you know that then your system needs this same software installed or a reader if there is one. One common hit on google for the .ppp file extension is a british desktop publishing program such as linked here: http://www.serif.com/desktop-publishing-software/

based on info contained here: http://www.fileinfo.com/extension/ppp I have never used the software available for download at this site, so download/install/use at own risk.

Thank you for your prompt reply, Dave.  I sense a note of caution.  I think I will go back to the sender and ask for some more information, or a different format.  It is normally in PDF from from this person.  So I will go down that route first.  Thank you for your input, Edna.

It's a PagePlus document that is a common blogospere app used...
It should open properly in Word.
A better thing for the sender to do is send you a link to the Topic/article they wanted you to see...
