You can't import a macro enabled powerpoint so that any animations / buttons retain their functionality? Just wondering...

They work great in powerpoint, but I can't preserve their functionality in this context. Comments Hi @jd If you mean, do I know how to make animations in powepoint, the answer is yes.

If you can get a macro enabled presentation to work via one of those apps, at least you'll know if it's possible or not.

I seriously doubt the iOS built-in-browser will do any PowerPoint animations. But, you could test this by... a) Make a powerpoint with some animations. b) Plop it on a webserver, dropbox, anywhere with URL to load it. c) Visit it in some browsers on your regular computer. Safari, FireFox, Explorer. Note how they behave. I'll be they are a bit 'different' than each other. d) Visit the URL in mobile safari on iPhone or iPad. Same thing...does it work. Highly unlikely. Another thought... I wonder how animations in Keynote (Apple's presentation software) would work? Hmm.. Could try importing PowerPoint to KeyNote then using that file. Could work?
