About PPTX and XLS

PPTX (Microsoft PowerPoint Presentation (Office Open XML)) is PowerPoint's modern XML-based format, supporting animations, transitions, and embedded media.

XLS (Microsoft Excel 97-2003 Workbook) is Excel's legacy binary format, still common on older systems though superseded by XLSX.

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