A browser-based checker for PowerPoint and Word files that flags potential compatibility problems in the app where they’ll be opened.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-13 issue.
For
People sharing or presenting PowerPoint and Word files
Worth noticing
Findings are labeled “Confirmed,” “Likely,” or “Check,” distinguishing documented issues from cases that need manual testing.

Field notes

The page says the checker reads .pptx and .docx files locally and compares their contents with a selected destination app. Its output separates findings into “Confirmed,” “Likely,” and “Check,” tied respectively to vendor documentation, documented behavior, or cases that need manual testing. The current pass cannot reproduce an app’s exact rendering; side-by-side views and app-specific corrected copies are described as part of the planned full version.
