Before editing a slide in a Slide Library, you must first create a Slide Library in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 and then publish slides to the library. Find more information about creating and adding slides to a Slide Library in the See Also section.

 Note   You must have Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007installed on your computer before you can edit slides in an Office SharePoint Server 2007 Slide Library. Slide Libraries support only PowerPoint 2007 .pptx files that contain multiple slides or .ppt files that contain just one slide.

Edit a slide in a Slide Library

You can easily edit slides in your Slide Library without having to leave your site. When you edit a slide in a Slide Library, the slide opens in PowerPoint 2007. When you edit a slide and save your changes from within PowerPoint 2007 the edited slide is saved back to your Slide Library.

 Tip   You can use Versioning to track changes to your slides or to restore a previous version of a slide directly from your Slide Library. To learn more about versioning settings in Office SharePoint Server 2007, see Introduction to versioning.
