What is a PIP file?

PIP files mostly belong to Word by Microsoft. PIP is the file extension used by a Office personalized settings file. Office is a suite of productivity software developed by Microsoft. It includes a word processor (Word), a spreadsheet software (Excel), a presentation software (PowerPoint), a database management system (Access), an email and personal information management software (Outlook), and a desktop publishing application (Publisher). The PIP file format stores settings for personalized menus and toolbars in Office. A personalized menu in Office initially shows only those commands which are most frequently used by that particular user. When the personalized menu remains open for a few seconds, the rest of the commands are displayed. The usage data that determines the settings of personalized menus is stored in the Application Data\Microsoft\Office folder. There is a PIP file for each Office program in this directory, which contains the data for that program's personalized menus. Personalized menus can be disabled from the Options tab in the Customize dialog box.

How to open a PIP file
