# Overview of PowerPoint Mobile

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 will advance to the next automatically. Links to URLs are also supported.

PowerPoint features not supported on the device include:

- Notes: Notes written for slides will not be visible.
- Rearranging or editing slides: PowerPoint Mobile is a viewer only.
- File formats: Files created in *.ppt format earlier than PowerPoint '97 and HTML files in *.htm and *.mht formats are not supported.
