"Post" as in "on a website"?

Generally speaking, you can't. The nature of the beast is that you click on a link, the
browser downloads the file to your local PC then opens it from there.

There are ways of "streaming" audio and video; a server delivers a stream of bytes to
some kind of player on the user end but doesn't ever deliver a whole file as such. You
might want to google streaming video to see what turns up.

File, Open, type in the URL of the PPT saved as a web page and you have
an editable PPT open in PPT.

That, sir, is what about "Save as Web Page".

Weird, eh?
