Gmail can now Open Presentations Online

Gmail

Previously when there was a buzz about Gmail's latest features it was about the new up sized file attachment size which had been increased to 20 MB solid. This was a good initiative by Microsoft as it would allow Gmail users to upload and email home videos as well as mail big size presentations.

Gmail's PowerPoint Presentation Viewer

Recently, Gmail was experimenting with a new feature in its mail system which would allow you to view PowerPoint Presentations online without downloading them to your desktop. This feature has now been made official by Google and this will definitely add more spice to the Gmail family.

How to open .ppt presentation in Gmail?

Opening your PowerPoint Presentations in Gmail is as easy a pie.

  1. Open the message containing an attachment.
  2. Click View as slideshow at the bottom of the message.

This will open your slides in a new browser window. You can navigate between slides by clicking the left and right arrow buttons at the top of the screen, or by choosing a specific slide from the dropdown menu in the upper right corner of the screen.

    Actually google is looking at mobile advertisments, and maybe even taking the telecoms industry on. With triple play and even quad-play technically viable, how do you propose the world do something about this? Because google will compete globally. Government regulation is not the answer, the market needs to hold google to industry standards and open source or we're doomed.
  • Ganesh and DJ while you can laugh it off as a joke but what you said might be correct! Your life maybe Google life as it is venturing into offline media as well (TV and Radio advertisements to start with). That is not fun for me at all and something should be done to stop this.
