About PPT and XLS

PPT (Microsoft PowerPoint 97-2003 Presentation) is PowerPoint's legacy binary format, predating the XML-based PPTX.

XLS (Microsoft Excel 97-2003 Workbook) is Excel's legacy binary format, still common on older systems though superseded by XLSX.

What to expect: PPT and XLS support similar formatting, so most content and structure should carry over cleanly.
