Hi,

I am creating a PowerPoint Presentation that I plan to save as a webpage and include in my website. I use Frontpage and do not know html though I can figure out a lot of stuff if I know the steps. It's the first time that I convert PowerPoint to webpage and I am following some instructions from an article, so there are a lot of details not mentioned. If any of you knows how to do this, I will appreciate your assistance. The way I understand it is this:

1. I save the PP presentation as a webpage (.htm).
2. I import it into my Frontpage files, making sure that the folder is included inside the web.
3. I upload it.

Now, I haven't tried this yet, but I've had problems uploading MP3 files to the server. It simply shocks. This are not particularly large files, as audio goes, and I have sometimes to fiddle for a long while to get them compressed. So I am a little hesitant to upload an entire PP, which includes audio, graphics, animations and transitions.

Since I don't know flash and don't have any other fancy alternatives yet, PP is the best I can do to create my virtual tour. Therefore if you have any recommendations about how to make sure that I upload this correctly, please let me know as soon as possible.

I am using Frontpage 2002.

Thank you,

MM

Hello,

I have never tried to convert a PowerPoint presentation to a web page but I suspect it won't work very well, and may not work at all on non-Microsoft browsers. I believe your best bet is to Google to try to find a PowerPoint to Flash converter.

Another alternative is to simply upload the PowerPoint file itself and link to it. The presentation will play if the user has either PowerPoint installed on their computer or the free PowerPoint viewer, which they may download from Microsoft.

A third alternative is to prepare screen captures of the PP slides and present the images sequentially similar to a photo gallery.
