Running a Powerpoint in Publisher

[Rodney Demko]

I'm creating a single page web email blaster in Publisher 2003. I've created
a small powerpoint presentation of just three words that fade in and out at
the top of the page. It works fine in edit mode but when I send the page as
an email, the presentation does not run. It just shows the first word like a
text object. All my links work, just not the powerpoint. How do I get it to
run in the emailed page? It also does nothing when previewed in a web browser.

a) Publisher is not an email designer.
b) PowerPoint presentations cannot run in HTML email, which is what
Publisher creates. Publisher is converting the embedded object into a
static image. Creating an animated GIF in an appropriate animation might
work, it might not.
c) Publisher is not an email designer.

What should I use to create a web page email?

A web page editor, such as FrontPage (or Expression Web Designer) or the
open-source Nvu (http://www.nvu.com/).

There are tips on coding for email instead of the web here:

Things like frames won't work at all.
