Here at\u00a0iTeam HQ<\/a>, we’re often asked “How do I edit PowerPoint files on my iPad?”.\u00a0When we unpack this question, we find 3 usage scenarios, viz:<\/p>\n

Using my iPad, I would like to:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \u2026Display PowerPoint files<\/strong>
    \nIn this case the iTeam suggests that you Print<\/strong> or Save As\u2026<\/strong> the PowerPoint file to a\u00a0PDF\u00a0<\/strong>on the PC or Mac you used to create it. And then that you transfer the resulting PDF file (e.g. via email or     DropBox<\/a>, etc.) to your iPad.This method will result in a higher-fidelity version of your PowerPoint presentation, than using the iPad’s built-in capability to view PowerPoint files. Of course, the downside is that your PDF presentation is no longer easily editable.<\/li>\n
  2. \u2026Edit a PowerPoint file<\/strong>
    \nMicrosoft has yet to release MS Office for the iPad. The iTeam has tried a variety of 3rd-party MS Office equivalents for the iPad and currently suggests     QuckOffice Pro HD<\/a> or Polaris Office<\/a>.Reference<\/strong>:\u00a0carleton.ca\/iteam\/howto\/#msoffice<\/a><\/p>\n

    N.B<\/strong>. Depending on the complexity of the PowerPoint file, there may be some rendering problems. And editing may cause some further loss in the file.<\/li>\n

  3. \u2026Create a presentation<\/strong>
    \nIf you are creating a presentation on your iPad from scratch, consider Apple’s Keynote<\/strong> App (    iTunes<\/a> | Apple Support site<\/a>).Note<\/strong>: If you also have a reliable network connection while creating your presentation, you might also consider a cloud-based, presentation app such as Prezi for iPad<\/a>.
