I'd like some help when creating websites using powerpoint

[Annalisa]

Bit of an odd one this one - my office has insisted on using PowerPoint to
create our website. We need to create something fast before we move to our
new office end of this month but after this deadline I've convinced them to
switch to Dreamweaver.
Does anyone know of a PowerPoint support book I could use (not one seems to
deal with web design) or does anyone have some tips, especially before going
live?

Many thanks!!

Yuck, that's like using vice grips to pound nails...it kinda works because
the vice grips are heavy and the nail goes in. But it's messy...bent nails
and a scar in the wood.

There's a reason you won't find much on this topic. Presentations are easy
enough to put on the web, and there's lots written about that. But a website
for a company is never a linear presentation. I'd counsel you to consider
FrontPage or some other web design software instead. It's easy to use and
designed for the task.
