PowerPoint

by slafaso on October 12th, 2008

Can I upload and play a PowerPoint presentation on my site?  If yes, can you direct me to the directions or explain how to me?  And, if you can show one, can you show more than one?

    I’m afraid that you can’t run a PowerPoint presentation through a workBench screen. You could upload a PowerPoint presentation in the “Other Files” drop zone in the uploader. If you dragged it into the Sitemap, not into the Canvas, and linked to it, people could download it and look at it on their computers, if they had Microsoft’s PowerPoint.

    Keep in mind though that PowerPoint wasn’t initially designed for the Internet, and PowerPoint presentations with images can be very large and problematic to up- and download on the Internet.

    PowerPoint has a “save” option to transform projects into web content. I don’t have much experience in terms of how well that works. It produces an HTML file that accesses content from a related folder. Unfortunately you can’t upload that type of folder into the workBench.

    Sorry I don’t have a more helpful answer.

and you say...
