You mentioned that you have done only Excel, can you say how you did that?
To my understanding, the only way how you'll be able to display those files in your web application is if you convert them to some other format that is compatible with browsers.
So for example you could either convert your Excel file to PDF in C# or convert your Excel file to HTML in C#.
You would do the same for any other format as well, for example you could convert your Word files to either PDF or HTML in C# as well.
Last for PowerPoint files I would suggest you to take a look at this powerpoint library for C# and VB.NET.
FYI, these suggested solutions do not require office to be installed.

You really can't. You would have to read the files on the server using office and convert them to HTML. Word is possible, I am not sure that powerpoint is. Of course, no editing will be possible.
