I just uploaded a pptx created with PowerPoint 2010 beta and all I got was "This document type is not supported".

You will definitely need to support pptx if you don't already, and make sure you work with Office 2010, otherwise you're losing a huge chunk of potential users.

Thank you city41. I am simply using the Google Doc Viewer embed feature, hence I can only support the document they support. But I will try and find a work around. Thanks again.

I have used Google Doc viewer (embedded version) in another project and it is far more limited than the Doc viewer that is part of GMail, which may result in hitting a brick wall development wise.

Edit: Are you using the proper embeded version or a hack of Google Docs - its prompting me to login from an iframe.. this is a definite! problem. Email me for advice neurofog <at> gmail <dot> com if you want the details.
