For PowerPoint 2007 you would need to look into Office Open XML file
format

These links demonstrate Office Automation. Microsoft does not support
server-side Office Automation because it doesn't work:

It's true, they do not recommend and do not support server-side Office
Automation, however as far as I can see in other threads, Automation
works in a certain conditions. For example, it doesn't work under
default ASP.NET account and has to be run under fixed account from the
local Administrators group, which is again, not recommended by
Microsoft.

Even more of a reason not to recommend it:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/288367

Note specifically:

Caution Automation of any Office application from an unattended,
non-interactive user account is risky and unstable. A single error in code
or configuration can result in a dialog box that can cause the client
process to stop responding (hang), that can corrupt data, or that can even
crash the calling process (which could bring down your Web server if the
client is ASP).

Warning Office was not designed, and is not safe, for unattended execution
on a server. Developers who use Office in this manner do so at their own
risk.

If your needs are simple you may be able to use my free ExportPanel control:
http://SteveOrr.net/articles/ExportPanel.aspx

If your needs are more complex then you probably want to use a 3rd party
tool to help ease things along:

Hi everyone, I'm wanting to use VB.NET to display a powerpoint presentation, much the same way as the presenter that comes with PowerPoint (when used on multiple monitors). Basically, I want to show the presentation in one form/window, and in the other, have controls for moving through the presentation, list of slides, etc. I don't really want code as such, more like a tutorial on how to do something like this.
