A practical guide to viewing and editing PPTX presentations on Android, including text, images, shapes, slide order and slideshow playback.

## Quick answer
A practical guide to viewing and editing PPTX presentations on Android, including text, images, shapes, slide order and slideshow playback.

Presentation editing on a phone is mostly about making targeted changes without losing the overall slide layout. A useful mobile editor should let you inspect the full slide, select objects and then make precise edits.

## 1. Open the presentation and review the slide layout
Start by swiping through the presentation and checking that the important slides render as expected.

## 2. Tap the object you want to edit
Text boxes, images and shapes should be selected as objects rather than treated as one flat picture of the slide.

## 3. Make targeted object changes
Typical edits include changing text, font size or family, bold/italic/underline, alignment, text colour, fill colour, image replacement, position and size.

## 4. Manage slides when the structure changes
You may need to add a blank slide, duplicate a slide, move it left or right, change its background or delete it.

## 5. Run the slideshow before sharing
A fullscreen slideshow is a quick way to check the final order and appearance after making changes.

## Common mistakes to avoid
- Making layout changes without checking the full slide
- Replacing an image without checking its crop and position
- Moving or deleting a slide without reviewing the final order
- Assuming every advanced desktop animation or embedded object will behave identically on mobile
