convert to html

[mhaegele]

Hi Group,

When I use the "save as web page" function in PowerPoint
2002 SP-2, some (not all) of the associated audio files
don't run in the html version. I am a web designer, and
have pretty good idea of how those files should be
associated to work when they are uploaded to a server. So
I don't think that's my problem. In the problem files,
90% of the audio will play correctly, and the small
minority in the same ppt file don't play at all.

Any suggestions/ideas?

Thanks,

mh

mh,

This should help

Sounds won't play across multiple slides on the web

Hi Karl,

Thanks for the quick response. I'm not sure this applies
in our case. Each slide has an individual sound file
attached. It's very odd. In one file with 58 slides,
the audio plays from slide 1 to 53. The sound then plays
again on slide 58. This is only the html version. All
the files play in the original ppt file. In another
file, the audio plays for the first three files, and then
nothing after that in a 22 slide file. And we have tried
multiple versions of audio files (.wav, mp3, and others)
with the same results. We created the files on different
computers (running the same versions of ppt) with the
same results.

I'm stumped.

Can you provide a link to the html version?

Yes, we've experimented with all the suggested
scenarios. And the html versions play the same whether
they are on a server on local drive. And we allowed for
file size in our experiments. That's why we are
completely stumped at this point. And I find it very
curious that it's happening to several different files -
not just one. And at different points in the
presentation.

Again, any thoughts would be helpful. Thanks everyone,

Does this happen when playing back the HTML version from a local hdd or only
when playing it back over an internet connection?

If only over a net connection, it might be that the sound file doesn't finish
downloading before your slide timing takes you to the next slide, so it gets
skipped. This could happen, I expect, if the slide's not on for very long or
the associated sound file's quite large.

The file is on a company intranet.

Sorry.

I can't post the file online as it contains confidential
information. Thanks for the suggestion.

If possible, post a url to the version on the web.
Seeing it might trigger the AHA from somebody.
