Solve : Powerpoint slideshow on a webpage?

Answer»

Hi all

I have a powerpoint slideshow giving instuctions on how to apply a PRODUCT...but I can't get it to run off our web page...has any one any ideas on how I could get this to work

Many thanks

KarenFile-->Save as web page.I have tried that...the video clips won't play and the narration won't play...ideally I would have liked to just be able to click on an icon and have the slideshow open up and play...but couldn't get this to work either.

thank you for your thoughts though

KarenAh.  Powerpoint isn't really for that.  Synchronising animation and audio on a website is a bit harder.  If you want to achieve that, you don't start with Powerpoint, basically.  You'd start with Flash.  Sorry.  The best thing to do is invite your website visitors to download the presentation (remember to OFFER them the free Powerpoint viewer PROGRAM).If you are able to make this into a Flash project, I have the import code you will need  

Flamemany thanks for all your help.  I don't have flash capability at present but I will look into getting it.  Again thank you

KarenU can also make a link to the PowerPoint show using HTML. When the link is clicked, the show should begin.

*NOTE* to do this you must upload the file to your webhosting server  The show would only begin on a computer that has PowerPoint (or the PowerPoint viewer) installed.this seems to be a problem a lot of people have, i am wondering why EXACTLY there is not an easy way to insert a ppt file, you think that powerpoint would be widely used as it is a cool little movie making programWell the thing is that PowerPoint was not designed for interactive web animation.  Macromedia Flash was and produces useful compressed files for purpose, unlike the bloated results you'd get with PowerPoint.  Use the right tool for the job.   Quote

Except that you have to master the darn thing, and it takes a LOT of time and dedication to master Flash.  Power point was made for biz presentations, it's SIMPLE and easy.  Making a quicktime movie or a movie with windows moviemaker might help - not perfect but the resulting wmv file plays in most computers.  And it's easier to learn than Flash.
