[NABS-L] Help with Reading Power-Points

[Ashley Bramlett]

Mausem,

Good advice. I also use a pc for powerpoints.
I agree that downloading the file to a computer is a good idea. If you 
download it to your laptop though, you will have to unprotect the file by 
going to the file tab and clicking unprotect.

I actually don't have that sort of phone, but  I know that its easier to use 
a computer and laptops  will do the trick given they are thin and portable 
now.
As for saving your place, I'm not sure this is possible. Whenever I open the 
powerpoints, it begins at slide 1.
I think there is a go to slide feature on windows pcs
If not, you can press page down to go down by slides.
I wish powerpoint had placemarkers like word.

Hi Vejas,
I have not found a way to save my place in a presentation or document on the 
iPhone. I generally only use it when viewing short documents that I can scan 
through at a glance. Generally, for longer presentations, documents, and 
readings, I use my laptop. With most web browsers, you can open an email and 
simply click view as HTML to view the document as an Internet file, and scan 
through the text like a webpage. You can have as many windows open as you 
like, and when you return to the one with your open file, you can resume 
where you left off in most cases. The other option would be to simply 
download the file, but this would be more efficient on the laptop as well. I 
have not had much experience downloading files on the iPhone, but possibly 
the Files app might be of some use?
Best,
Mausam
