File extension pip is associated with Microsoft Office.
PIP format is used for preference files used by Microsoft Office programs to store User-Personalized Menus and Toolbars settings, which are created by each Office application by evaluating what menu commands are used most. Only often used commands are then displayed in a shortened version of each menu.
These pip files are stored in:
Application Data\Microsoft\Office
They are named [program].pip; for example, Microsoft Word's menu settings file may be named Word.pip or Word11.pip.
Settings files are not generally meant to be opened directly. You change them when you change settings in the program. However it may be possible to simply view them using any text editor.
Settings files typically cannot be converted to anything else.
