Open Attachments in Microsoft PowerPoint
If you often work with PowerPoint presentations, you know that you can include attachments in a PowerPoint presentation, incorporating them directly into the slides. This can save you time and the annoyance of having to pause your presentation, open another program, download something, and flip back and forth between screens. With just a couple of quick clicks in PowerPoint, you can open attachments and create one fluid presentation.
