Edit In Place with Microsoft PowerPoint
Open and edit documents on a server or cloud using Word, Excel, Pages, PowerPoint, iWork apps and FileBrowser.
If you are using the list view mode, any Microsoft Office or Apple iSuite apps or PDF documents will have an additional icon that will bring up the Share menu.
If you can't see the icons, see the section below.
You can add more file types on the Config/Preferences popup.
If you are not using the list view, simply tap the document actions menu and select "Edit In Place" from the menu.
Now iOS will show you the apps that this file can be passed to. Scroll the app icons list to the right until you find Excel and tap it.
Simply edit your document and when finished, tap the back arrow. This will save your changes back to the Server or Cloud where you opened your document.
Can't See the App Icons in the File Listing?
If you don't see the Word, Excel or PowerPoint App Icons appear in the file listing, you need to install the apps.
If you still can't see the icon it may need turning on in Config. Perform the following steps:
- Navigate to the Home Screen
- Tap Config (Gear icon bottom left)
- Tap Preferences
- Scroll down to "Edit in Place in List View" and turn it on.
Can't See the Excel Icon in the Share Menu?
Tap "Edit In Place" if you can't see Excel, scroll to the far right and tap "More". Then tap "Edit" in the top right.
Find Excel which will be under the "Suggested" section. Tap the plus icon next to it and it will now appear as one of your "Favourites".
Tap "Done", then "Done" again.
Excel should now appear as one of the icons in the list.
