Hi, I'm trying to write application which will be able to display MS Word docs, MS PowerPoint presentations(ppt). Is there some kind of support for those formats. I know that mail application can open PowerPoint. If there is no support for it what approach should i take ? Thanks in advance.

A:
That's relatively easy. UIWebView is able to load office documents.
All you have to do is get a URL to your file (this can be anywhere--the app bundle, the documents directory, the internet, etc.), and have UIWebView load it with -loadRequest

For opening anything (PDF, Pages, Word, Numbers, Excel, Images etc) that the Mail.app or Safari can open, you usually use the UIWebView.
UIWebView *webView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0F, 0.0F, 320.0F, 480.0F)];
NSURL *pdfURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.something.com/myFile.pdf"];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:pdfURL];
[webView loadRequest:request];
[self.view addSubview:webView];
[webView release];
