How-to Guide

1. Insert an attachment

Feature entry: Insert tab → Attachments

1. Open the presentation you want to edit and switch to the target slide.
2. Click the Insert tab at the top of the window.
3. Click Attachments.
4. In the dialog box, select the file you want to insert.
5. Click Open to finish the insertion.
6. Confirm that the file appears as an icon on the current slide.

Success Criteria

• Interface result: An attachment icon appears on the current slide.
• What you can do next: You can move the icon or continue editing the slide.
• No unwanted effect: Existing slide content stays unchanged.

Tips While Using

• Common mistake: If you do not switch to the correct slide first, the attachment may be inserted on a different slide.
• Environment note: If the file path becomes unavailable or the file cannot be accessed later, opening it may fail.

2. Open an inserted attachment

Feature entry: Attachment icon on the slide

1. Open the presentation that contains the attachment.
2. Find the attachment icon on the slide.
3. Double-click the icon.
4. View the file in the compatible app opened by Windows.

Success Criteria

• Interface result: The attached file opens in a compatible app on your system.
• What you can do next: You can review or continue working with the file content.
• No unwanted effect: The presentation itself does not close automatically.

Tips While Using

• Common mistake: A single click may only select the icon, so double-click if the file does not open.
• Environment note: Your system needs a compatible app for that file type.

3. Manage file size after adding attachments

Feature entry: File selection before insertion and presentation save management

1. Before inserting a file, check whether it is necessary for the presentation.
2. Prefer smaller or simplified file versions when possible.
3. Save the presentation after inserting the attachment.
4. Check the presentation file size again to confirm it still fits your sharing needs.
5. If the file becomes too large, remove unnecessary attachments and save again.

Success Criteria

• Interface result: The presentation saves normally.
• What you can do next: The file remains easier to send, store, or archive.
• No unwanted effect: Necessary supporting files remain available.

Tips While Using

• Common mistake: Inserting too many large files at once can increase the presentation size quickly.
• Environment note: Email or messaging platforms may have attachment size limits.
