Q: Why can't download powerpoint, pptx files in mail, to save to Keynote?

I have tried to send powerpoint presentations to my mail account to download and then save into Keynote.  An error message comes up and says, "Can't download file"

 

I have worked with Apple tech support and at the Apple Store.  they thought the pptx format woudn;'t work, so send in a variety formats, stipped out any macros, builds etc and nothing seems to change.

 

Rebooted the Ipad as well as reset the IPad and nothing seems to work.

 

Tech support can't figure out at the store or on line

 

Thanks

    PPTX in and of itself should not be a problem. I open them in Keynote on the iPad all the time. More than likelyy an issue with some template element or the file size. I'm guessing this may be an issue with Mail, rather the Keynote (file size or attachment encoding). Have you tried something like Dropbox?
