 * Hello everybody,
 * I was trying to insert an powerpoint file to wordpress, but on the webpage I 
   get some strange looking codes (I don’t know what these mean). Who can help me?
   
   The webpage is: [http://www.mindblowingadventures.com/index.php/projecten/amazing-grace/2013-2014/powerpoints-2/](http://www.mindblowingadventures.com/index.php/projecten/amazing-grace/2013-2014/powerpoints-2/)
   The file is: [https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0hpRASJyCDqRHV2TGlrY2s1UWs/view?usp=sharing](https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0hpRASJyCDqRHV2TGlrY2s1UWs/view?usp=sharing)
 * Thanks in advantage,
    Joël van Daalen

 * Hi there!
 * Please could you let us know the exact shortcode that is on your WordPress page
   when you edit it?
 * i.e. [gview …]
 * My guess is that you are supplying the full URL to your file within Google Drive.
   If you go to the drive.google.com URL you listed above, you’ll notice you get
   a toolbar and a few other things around the screen. So when the Google Doc Viewer
   tries to obtain your file, it gets all of the toolbar etc and not the actual 
   pptx file at all.
 * There should be ways around this, but you are most likely to get better results
   in the long run if you try our Google Drive Embedder plugin instead. This takes
   a little bit more set up, but is easier for locating and sharing files that are
   stored in Google Drive.
 * Thanks,
 * Dan
