MPP files work with both Project Viewer 365 and MOOS, even though MPP files are native to the Microsoft Project software. Project Viewer 365, although requiring payment, can edit as well as view MPP files, while the Seavus Project Viewer Online is free and can only view MPP files. This minHour teaches you how to open MPP files on PC or Mac with both free and paid programs.
