Is there a Way to embed & launch a .PPS file within a Webpage?

[AwicD]

Hi,

I was wondering if any of you guys/gals know a way to embed and display a
Powerpoint Show within a webpage much like a Movie (avi file)? Not just save
a ppt as a webpage since I've tried that already and the results are just
"static". What I mean
is that the PPS file retains all it's animation and sounds? (as if viewing
it like a movie?) For example, a pps file that has animated graphs in
it...and when I click on a link within a webpage...instead of just launching
a pps file (which is the simple way...) it instead launches the "pps" file
within the webpage (maybe iframed).

Thanks for any tips!

If you save as webpage, the animations should be retained. You might
check your settings in the Publishing options in the Save as WebPage
dialog box to ensure you've elected to maintain the animations.

Otherwise, maybe consider Producer.

I think there's another link for the 2003 version of Producer, too.

Gee, thanks for the tip! Although it didnt entirely animate the entire graph
as I had expected (it only "checkerboarded" the entire graph) I mean, it
didn't animate (introduce) the chart elements by series (one by one) as I
expected it would if it were a PPS file...is there anything I missed?? And
oh yeah, it didnt work on Netscape 7.1 (even if I checked all the browser
compatibilities option) bummer!

Yeah, you're right -- the graph animations don't always work when "by
series" or "by category" is specified. Only way I know around that is to
break up the chart (Draw/Ungroup) in PPT and animate the individual
pieces.

Re Netscape 7.1 -- that doesn't surprise me, although it does disappoint
me that the presentation doesn't work in it. All I can say there is
that, even though the browser compatibility options are selected, MS's
idea of "compatibility" certainly doesn't always mesh with mine.
