How do render MS word doc/ play MS PowerPoint presentation which is physically residing in OneDrive / Sharepoint online.

MS office Macro / MS Powerpoint macro needs the file to be attached to the Confuence page manually every there's change in the version.

@Rajiv You could try and use the iFrame widget but I do not think it works like that.

Thanks for your response.

For on-Demand viewing or Presentation play (Different Docs saved in OneDrive) ; I might need the Apps from Marketplace.

For example:
https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1216789/onedrive-sharepoint-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview
https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1217864/microsoft-sharepoint-onedrive-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=pricing

Macros only work with Attachments.

Is there any alternate approach without use of Apps on the Marketplace perhaps. Iframe Widget.

@Rajiv welcome to the Atlassian community

You are correct if you want to access the latest files you will need to attach it in confluence using the delivered functionality.  There are several apps in the Atlassian Marketplace that provide the functionality you are looking for.
