Use PowerPoint Mobile

Applies to: Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC

With PowerPoint Mobile, you can open and view slide show presentations created on your PC. Whether the presentation is opened from an e-mail message, downloaded from a file share or the Internet, copied to the device via a storage card, or obtained by synchronizing with your PC, slide shows created in *.ppt and *.pps format with PowerPoint ‘97 and later can be viewed on your device.

Many presentation elements built into the slide shows, such as slide transitions and animations, will play back on the device. If the presentation is set up as a timed slide show, one slide automatically advances to the next. Links to URLs are also supported.

The following PowerPoint features are not supported:

Work with slideshows

Start a slide show presentation

Stop a slide show presentation

Change the slide show orientation

You can view a PowerPoint Mobile presentation in portrait and in right-handed or left-handed landscape orientations.

Tip

Tap Default to view the presentation in the orientation that best fits the size and shape of the device screen.

Set slide show playback options

You can override some of the playback options stored in a PowerPoint presentation.

Tip

To turn the presentation into a continuously looping slide show, select both the Use timings, if present and the Loop continuously check boxes.

Navigate between slides

If a presentation is set up as a timed slide show, one slide will advance to the next automatically. However, if the presentation is not timed or you simply want to go to another slide out of sequence, you can do that easily in a PowerPoint Mobile presentation.

Notes

If you have zoomed in to see a slide in more detail, you cannot navigate to another slide until you zoom out.

Tapping Next or Previous may play an animation on a slide rather than navigate to another slide.

Tip

Simply tap the current slide to go to the next one.

Zoom in and out in a slide

Zoom in to see a portion of a slide in more detail and zoom out to see the entire slide again.

Note

If the presentation is set up as a timed slide show, the presentation will pause during zooming.

Tip

To view content that is not visible on the device screen during zooming, simply tap the slide and drag it up, down, or to either side until the content is visible.
