Working with PowerPoint Web App

PowerPoint Web App has the familiar look and feel of PowerPoint. It providers users with the ability to access and edit presentaions anywhere in the world, using only a Web browser, and to collaborate with colleagues or customers in real time. The PowerPoint Web App allows multiple users to work with and modify the same presentation at the same time, just like the Word, OneNote and Excel Web Apps.

• The Home tab has commands for formatting text. Also use the Home tab to add, delete, duplicate, and hide slides.
• Use the Insert tab to add pictures, SmartArt, and hyperlinks.
• Use the View tab to switch back to view mode or to run the slide show.
• PowerPoint Web App saves your work automatically. Use Undo to get rid of changes you don't want to keep.  

If you want to make changes to the presentation, click Edit in Browser. In Editing view you can add and delete content, and format text. You can also add, delete, duplicate, and hide slides. You can add or modify SmartArt and pictures, as well as hyperlinks. Go to the Insert tab to add these. 

Editing in PowerPoint Web App is best suited for quick changes, such as making a correction, adding a graphic, or adding some slides. If you need the full set of PowerPoint capabilities, you need to go back to the desktop application. To do this, click the File tab, and then click Open in PowerPoint. PowerPoint Web App opens the presentation directly in your desktop application, where you can work more substantially — for example, if you want to modify transitions or edit slide content that is not in placeholders. In PowerPoint, when you click Save, PowerPoint saves the presentation back on the web server.
Note To be able to use the Open in PowerPoint feature in PowerPoint Web App you must be running PowerPoint 2003 or later and Internet Explorer or PowerPoint 2010 and Firefox.
