  The slideshow and Gallery won’t work with PPT files.
  Uploading file on your WordPress.com site only allows you to insert a download link to a file. If you wish to embed the actual document into a post or page, you can use external services such as Scribd or Slideshare.

  Thanks !
  I follow your suggestion and subscribed to Scribd, but how to embed the generated file into a WP post or page?
