How to make PPT Hyperlinks show on web

J

Jasmine

Hi,

Wondering if someone can help. I am trying to use a ppt presentation in a
website, where i need to keep the web functionality. My PPT prez. has
hyperlinks embedded to go to other PPT slides, or to other apps, but when i
upload the file to the web, the hyperlinks do not work.

I have tried to convert PPT file to a gif, which then allows me to create
hotspots where i want the hyperlinks to be on each gif (one per PPT slide),
but if i make any little change to a gif, i have to re-do ALL the hyperlinks
on that gif (not a good option).

Is there any other way to deal with this?

Thanks!

Sounds/Movies don't play, images disappear or links break when I move or email a

Hi Steve!

Yes,I tried to upload my prez as a PPT file by first converting to html, and
the hyperlinks dont work. I then tried the 'converting file to gif' option,
and as mentioned can create the hotspots, but if I want to make changes, i
have no choice but to redo all the hyperlinks........which is a pain in the
*&£$!

The hyperlinks are to other pages in the same PPT file, and in fact when i
said some of the links are to other apps - they are in fact to a Lotus notes
'teamroom' not on my own computer. It works perfectly from the PPT file
itself (just not when its uploaded on the site). (website is an intranet
within the company i work so teamroom links are accessible).

Yes the "slide as image" or gif will work fine i think (the ONLY thing that
makes it a no go at the mo is the effort to 'redo' all the hotspots if you
make one change). So the commercial addin you mention sounds very promising.
Havent yet gone to the site you mention........but are you able to say here
how much it will cost? I assume its not free!
In the meantime I will have a look at the functional demo.

Regards
