FIGURE 9-23 You can review the presentation or edit it on your phone.

The process for editing a presentation on your phone is easier than you might think. After you tap Download A Copy in the PowerPoint options list, the current slide opens on your phone. Tap the slide and then tap the Edit tool (to the right of the Comment tool in the tools row along the bottom of your phone). You can select an area by tapping it, as shown in Figure 9-24.

FIGURE 9-24 Tap the area of the slide you want to change.

PowerPoint opens the text area of the slide to enable you to make simple changes in the content. (See Figure 9-25.) Tap to position the cursor, and use the Delete key and the character keys to remove unwanted text and add new content, respectively. When you’re finished editing, tap the Done tool. (It resembles a check mark.)

You can then move on to other slides by tapping the Next button, or you can display additional slide options by tapping the three dots by the tools row. As you can see in Figure 9-26, additional options enable you to move the current slide to a new point in the presentation or hide the slide from view.
