Use -[UIWebView loadData:MIMEType:textEncodingName:baseURL:]

[webView loadData:[NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:filePath] MIMEType:@"application/vnd.ms-powerpoint" textEncodingName:@"UTF-8" baseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:filePath]]

To my knowledge, the iPhone only currently reads Word and Excel documents. I don't think PowerPoint is supported. I tried it, and it wouldn't open the PowerPoint file. For a Word file, the iPhone actually has an arrow that you can tap, opening the document in another window.
