I believe there is support to upload a PPT and convert it such that it 
can be presented by the Presentation Tool.  I don't recall exactly how 
this is done, but I believe that it can be done.

Well ....  you might be able to include other things in a presentation 
such as web pages or videos.  You might try tinkering with the 
presentation list file.  It's been years since I was involved with this, 
Idon't remember all the details.

One thing that might give you more information is to search Jira for 
tickets associated with the Presentation tool.  That will tell you what 
was fixed, added, etc.
