Office PowerPoint Macro
The Office PowerPoint macro is going away in a future release
Read more about this change or find out about a better way to insert and preview PowerPoint files.
The Office PowerPoint macro displays the content of a PowerPoint presentation on a wiki page. First attach the presentation to a Confluence page, then use the macro to display the content. When viewing the page, people will see the content of the presentation, without needing to have Office installed.
For details, see the View File Macro.
