I´m Trying to be brief:
I saved a couple of slides on PPT as web page; I observed all the files it
generated, I opened it on IE even, tryied open them on PPT, everything looked
smooth, almost perfect.
So I want to do the Inverse, to develop an APP that do that translation,
specificly to take a Web Page and to convert it to the PPT 'perfect standard'
to be viewed as a PPT presentation.
I looked all the code generated by PPT everything looked familiar but one
thing I have clear is that I cannot do this by my self and I would need to
have some documentation on the whole method Microsoft Uses to convert the
presentation to HTML; so I can do the exact opposite.

Does anyone knows any really good documentation about the process of
creating the HTML by PowerPoint?

PPT 2007's file format is XML-based and is/will be much more thoroughly

hoped it whould be some magic White Paper of MS explaining the purpose of all
the TAGs on XML, there are so many of them to control and fully understand.

Ignore the stuff about the HTML filter. On page two I get a hit on the Microsoft
Office HTML and XML reference.
Fair Enough, that's pretty much of a help! I will continue searching over
this thread of knowledge.
