Technically, I believe it's possible, but if not converted to a more standard format I don't think it will display correctly for everyone.

Use the pdf format for displaying documents on the net. PHP has several functions for creating, formating pdf documents.

It is possible, but it also depends a lot on the security settings of the target PC, and some registry settings for how it will be displayed.

I remember when working on an intranet that contained powerpoints, we had to make a .reg file available so that the target PCs would display the powerpoint correctly. This is probably not an option for internet apps.

If it is possible, convert it into some other more web-friendly format first, otherwise you'll get unpredictable usability depending on the specific PC setup of the person that opens the file.

Yes only if you're using IE and only in windows becuase of ActiveX.

I tink the best way to do this .
You should first Convert it To SWF.
There Are ppt to swf converters in the markets .
You Can Use them . And once You have created the swf It Can be Shown in any browser With SWF Plugin
